Duarte-based City of Hope received a $10 million gift from the Sheri and Les Biller Family Foundation to boost supportive care medicine services for patients at its facilities, The Los Angeles Business Journal reports.
The gift will support City of Hope’s efforts to give patients across its cancer care system expanded access to its evidence-based supportive care medicine offerings and to advocate for establishing supportive care as a standard practice for cancer care in the United States.
Under its existing supportive care medicine program, cancer patients at City of Hope are provided comprehensive physical, psychological, social and practical support services that improve outcomes and enable them to maximize their personal and family strengths. Offerings include care navigation, survivorship programs, specialists in cancer and aging, psychological and spiritual counseling, pain management, and integrative medicine such as yoga, massage and meditation.
