Michael A. Friedman, M.D. President and C.E.O.

The past year has marked an exciting time in City of Hope’s history. Because of your loyal support, we are closer than ever to a cure for cancer and other life-threatening diseases. 

You make the seamless connection between research and care possible.  Because of you, our doctors are using advanced technology to remove tumors with fewer side effects and shorter recovery times than before. 

Your gifts make it possible for our scientists to pioneer innovative ways to supercharge a patient’s immune system, destroying cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone. 

With your help we have been able to fund breakthrough research projects like Dr. Yani Lu’s, which you can read about right here on this page.

And because of you, we can save more lives, and treat more patients like Kris Fuentes with compassion and confidence.

Every day you are teaching us more about the Power of Hope. 

It is because of support from friends like you that I can call this year a resounding success. Thank you, as always, for making a real difference.
