The Long Beach Cancer League will raise funds to support a partner focusing on cancer research and services.
MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center and Miller Children's & Women's Hospital are one of the largest and most comprehensive (19 specialties) medical campuses in the country. The hospitals provide $123 million a year in community benefits, including charity care, support for Medi-Cal and Medicare, and a variety of community support programs. Under the umbrella of MemorialCare, the Todd Cancer Institute (TCI) and the Jonathan Jaques Children's Cancer Institute (JJCCI) are the beneficiaries of the League's fundraising efforts.
The nationally recognized physicians and clinicians at TCI and JJCCI are active researchers, not only keeping abreast of the latest evolutions in cancer care, but also creating them, and brining new levels of vitality to their award-winning cancer programs.
MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center and Miller Children's & Women's Hospital Long Beach are community-based, nonprofit hospitals.
During the holidays, the League sponsors Adopt-A-Family providing gifts and food to families dealing with cancer.
