The funding from this grant will help to establish the foundation within MemorialCare to fulfill the unrealized potential of two excellent cancer programs, the pediatric program at JJCCI and the adult program at TCI andprovide the cancer survivorship care acrossthe developmental trajectory for AYA patients. This program will also serve as a unique resource within MemorialCare and as a regional resource within the greater Los Angeles and Orange county area.
