Transformational gifts with lasting impact
The first phase of the Texas Cancer Interception Institute is made possible by a transformational commitment from the Jeff and Carmen York family. Inspired by the care Jeff received at Baylor Scott & White, the York family is committed to advancing hope and support for people living with cancer and their families, today and for generations to come.
Their generosity supports both the Texas Cancer Interception Institute Command Center at the Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center in Dallas and the Jeff and Carmen York Family Patient Navigation program, expanding access to guidance, resources and meaningful connection throughout a person’s cancer journey.
The Jeff and Carmen York Family funded the first phase of TCII through a transformational gift.
