St. Baldrick’s Foundation awarded a $50,000 grant to Bon Secours St. Francis Cancer Center.
The funds will be used to pay for a full-time clinical research nurse coordinator, devoted to patients in the facility’s Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer Care program.
“As a community cancer center, Bon Secours St. Francis is truly grateful for St. Baldrick’s support as we strive to provide access and enrollment to potentially life-saving clinical trials right here in the Upstate,” said Dr. Hal Crosswell, director of the AYA program at Bon Secours. “By keeping these expanded care options closer to home, we avoid uprooting patients and their families during an already disruptive time in their lives.”
St. Baldrick’s Foundation awarded 26 infrastructure grants in November, including the one Bon Secours received. These funds support programs and the personnel necessary to open and coordinate clinical trials and provide survivorship care. For more information, visit stbaldricks.org.
