Below is the email from President & CEO Dr. Debra F. Sukin regarding the announcement:
All,
It’s an exciting day for Texas Children’s and pediatric cancer patients across the globe. I want you to be among the first to know that shortly we will announce a groundbreaking collaboration with MD Anderson Cancer Center aimed at eradicating pediatric cancer. While our two organizations have collaborated for years, this new entity will expand access while offering the nation’s largest complement of pediatric subspecialty care and services for children diagnosed with all types of cancer and expand pediatric clinical trial access – all within a single entity.
This day would not be possible without our excellent clinical team who built a world class pediatric cancer and hematology program at Texas Children’s in partnership with the distinguished Baylor College of Medicine. Thank you to the countless leaders behind the scenes who have been committed to bringing this grand vision to life. I know there will be many questions but rest assured, we will share key updates as they develop, and we’ll look to many of you for your expertise as we finalize our plans together.
This announcement is truly life-changing!
With gratitude,
Debbie
