On October 3rd 2020, Anova partner the South Sound Care Foundation ran a successful fundraising event in the midst of a COVID-19 pandemic.
The South Sound Care Foundation has taken on the difficult task of bringing potentially life-saving investigational products to cancer patients in the South Sound region. The work includes the activation of industry-sponsored clinical trials, participating in cooperative group research and funding exciting investigator initiated research realizing the promise of precision medicine. South Sound Care Foundation use the AnovaOS platform to identify promising new treatments and bring them to patients under compassionate use pathways.
One of the patients the South Sound Foundation helped using this approach was featured in a video as a part of the event that can be found here.
It is not too late to help this foundation with its important work. Whilst many of us are focused on the impact of COVID-19 on our lives, we should not forget the impact the pandemic has had on the treatment of patients with cancer and other life threatening diseases, and the impact of the work of groups like the South Sound Care Foundation.
