Why Partner With BCCC-CURE
One of our primary missions at Brooklyn College Cancer Center (CommUnity Outreach, Research and Education) BCCC-CURE is to enhance the lives of patients affected by cancer with a special focus on Brooklyn residents.
BCCC-CURE seeks to address health inequalities and unmet needs by connecting patients, health care providers, academic researchers, and community organizations dealing with health disparities. We are looking to create a network of collaborative partners whose mission aligns with ours in order to increase the impact on the progress of clinical care, cancer research, and dissemination of preventative cancer education.
If you can answer yes to any of these questions, we would love to partner with you.
