The baskets contain books, coloring books, crossword puzzles, bottled water, and other comfort items. Thank you, Jade! 🧺 #UCBCStrong🎄

Cancer has affected all of us in one way or anothe

Cancer has affected all of us in one way or another. At University Cancer & Blood Center, we’ve been fighting on the front lines of cancer treatment since we first opened our doors in 1981.
We’re proud of how our training, research, and commitment have combined to positively impact patient outcomes. But through it all, we’ve found that the greatest discoveries we’ve made are actually about people. Our dedicated team is here to support you through your treatment every step of the way ❤️ #UCBCStrong
