Unique Strengths That Position Us for Progress
Since 1913, City of Hope has led the way in compassionate care and pioneering research. Today, with the Power of Hope $1 billion fundraising campaign, we have the opportunity to accelerate progress as never before, forging new breakthroughs and saving more lives. We are confident we can achieve these goals because of our commitment to the following:
Innovation
City of Hope is using its tremendous research capabilities and infrastructure to accelerate the discovery and development of new treatments. Our extensive clinical trials program and our ability to create our own novel therapies for testing means more progress in a shorter amount of time.
Collaboration
We believe that great progress requires great partnership. To speed advances on behalf of patients and families, City of Hope scientists and physicians work closely with one another and on hundreds of research projects with colleagues at other institutions such as Memorial Sloan-Kettering, the Mayo clinic and dozens of others.
Compassion
In the face of serious illness, patients find a community of caregivers at City of Hope that treats them as people, not diseases. We provide these patients and their families with the care and understanding that support and elevate them during the most difficult times. We believe that state-of-the-art science is nothing without the art of compassion.
Proven Results
Technology developed at City of Hope has led to live-saving drugs in use every day by countless patients around the world. These include Humulin, Herceptin, Rituxan and Avastin. City of Hope’s reach extends far beyond Southern California as we draw patients from across the country and share our breakthroughs around the world.
