Our New York Event: Celebrating 25 Years of Childhood Cancer Advocacy brings together the childhood cancer community and builds on a longstanding tradition of Children’s Cancer Cause.
At the event, we will present the Rosen Award to Pamela Hinds, RN, PhD, FAAN, who is a senior nurse researcher now at Children’s National Hospital after a long career at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. She is a tenured professor in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences at the George Washington University and holds the William and Joanne Conway Chair in Nursing Research at Children’s National Hospital. Her research has articulated childhood and adolescent cancer patients’ and their parents’ experiences through all stages of treatment and care. Most recently, she has worked on creating and validating items to codify pediatric patient-reported outcomes including treatment toxicities, a set of items the FDA has recommended for use in clinical trials to evaluate new cancer therapies.
Dr. Hinds joins a prestigious group of past Rosen Award winners who have been trailblazers in pediatric cancer.
“Even as we push to try to improve cancer treatments for kids as quickly as we can, one of the things I try to focus on is to ensure we do it in a way that is intentional and respectful and ethical,” said 2023 recipient Dr. Steven Joffe in his acceptance remarks. “There’s obviously a ton more work to be done, but we’ve come an incredibly long way. And a critical reason for that is because of advocacy groups like Children’s Cancer Cause. Thousands of kids are alive or living better lives because of everything you do.”
We are seeking corporate sponsors for the event. Interested?
