A Letter from the President
So often in the search for new knowledge about cancer, it seems to be “on the boundary” where new discoveries are made, new possibilities unearthed, new partnerships formed, and innovative changes in cancer care can be implemented. Consequently, it is easy to conclude that it is “on the boundary” where a small foundation like the Walther Cancer Foundation belongs. It is this particular space on the broad cancer research continuum where the Foundation can apply its resources and best succeed in its now 23 year old mission to eliminate cancer as a source of suffering and death.
The facts indicate that for over two decades the Walther Cancer Foundation (formerly operating as the Walther Cancer Institute) has served on multiple boundaries in the state of Indiana:
- between cancer research institutions
- between research disciplines
- between researchers and caregivers
- between the caregiving system and cancer patients and their families.
