It was a pleasure to be in Kansas City and join U. S. Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas to celebrate progress toward the construction of a new building for the University of Kansas Cancer Center. The facility would centralize its current seven unique sites. As I witnessed firsthand, the strong community support for the new facility illustrates the power of a vibrant public-private partnership to enhance cancer care within the state.

That afternoon, I gathered with some of the event participants for this photo. Starting in the back row (l-r), you see Senator Moran; Rachel Pepper, chief nursing officer, Kansas City Division, The University of Kansas Health System; Roy Jensen, director, The University of Kansas Cancer Center, Kansas City; Bob Page, president and CEO, The University of Kansas Health System, Kansas City. In the front row (l-r) are Joseph McGuirk, Division of Hematologic Malignancies and Cellular Therapeutics, University of Kansas Cancer Center, Kansas City; Britany Leiker, nurse manager, The University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City; Tammy Peterman, president, Kansas City Division, The University of Kansas Health System; Doug Girod, chancellor, University of Kansas, Lawrence; and I’m next standing at the end of the row.

The event was held on June 27 at The University of Kansas Health Education Building, Kansas City. Credit: Elissa Monroe, The University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City.
