Mission: City of Hope, an innovative biomedical research, treatment and educational institution, is dedicated to the prevention and cure of cancer and other life-threatening diseases, guided by a compassionate, patient-centered philosophy and supported by a national foundation of humanitarian philanthropy.
Programs: City of Hope is a world leader in bone marrow transplantation; leukemia; musculoskeletal, sarcoma and solid tumors; neurological tumors; new agents for pediatrics patients; and pain management.
Our renowned physicians have created treatment programs for cancer as well as diabetes and other life-threatening illnesses. At least $2.5 million is invested in research each week. The Beckman Research Institute is exploring how bone marrow transplantations (BMT) can be used to treat HIV/AIDS and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and lupus. The link between the laboratory and the bedside means that patients receive lifesaving treatments without delay.
