Center for Survivors of Cancer
The Frank and Ann Pinkerton Center for the Survivors of Childhood Cancer is dedicated to improving the quality of life for children and adolescents who have experienced cancer and their families. The Center will achieve this primary aim by becoming a community and national resource for the advancement of clinical care, science, education, ethics, and restorative advocacy related to the survivors of childhood cancer and their families. The Pinkerton Center will provide comprehensive support to enhance the resilience of each childhood cancer survivor who accesses its services, and is dedicated to empowering survivors and their families to advocate for their own health.
The Center is dedicated to the development of state of the art in nationally significant clinical care, restorative advocacy, and ethics/research programs that will facilitate the quality of life of cancer survivors. To accomplish this aim, the Center will develop the following:
- innovative programs that are designed to prevent and ameliorate the negative life consequences of cancer and promote the positive engagement of cancer survivors and their families in their own advocacy and health promotion
- broad based collaborative partnerships with community organizations including health care organizations, survivors of cancer and their families, and with funders and policy makers
- evaluation of the effectiveness, ethical and policy implications of innovative service and education programs that promise to enhance the quality of the lives of childhood cancer survivors and their families
We anticipate that the Center's mission and programs will be of primary interest to health care practitioners, ethicists, researchers, policy makers, and the public at large who are concerned with the health and well being of childhood cancer survivors.
Graduate students participate in the clinical and research programs of the Center by providing clinical care and helping to evaluate the outcomes of center programs.
