Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have groundbreaking research in health care occurring in our own backyard. Case in point: Dr. Brian Druker and team are leading the charge to find a cure for cancer at OHSU’s Knight Cancer Institute.
Cambia's CEO Mark Ganz recently sat down with Dr. Druker to talk to him about this important research and the potential impact of the Knight Cancer Challenge, a $1 billion fundraising challenge to beat cancer. It’s inspiring to see how the community has come together by this amazing challenge that Phil and Penny Knight have issued. As Mark mentions in the interview, what really breeds strong philanthropy is relationship to the cause, touching the heart, not just the mind, and a belief in the vision. Dr. Druker's work and this challenge accomplish both! How exciting to think that a cure for cancer could be developed right here in Oregon, putting a victory within reach against a disease that’s the number one killer of Oregonians.
