Our Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center’s mobile screening van evaluated over 1,000 women for breast cancer — with nearly 60% from underrepresented populations. Abnormal results were identified in 16% of those screened, and six lives were saved. The team has organized over 130 mobile visits in the past two years to provide community-based breast and prostate screenings.
In collaboration with Sidney Kimmel Medical College and health professions students and faculty, JeffHOPE focuses on improving access to health care for the homeless and housing insecure by providing free medical clinics. They offer acute care, emotional support and health education. Now in its 30th year, JeffHOPE sees over 5,000 patients annually.
"Being a force for good is in Jefferson’s DNA, and as Mahatma Gandhi said: ‘The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.’ This couldn’t be truer of our employees and students — amazing citizens who are passionate about their grassroots initiatives to improve the lives of others. Their work is meaningful, purposeful and personal. I would be hard pressed to find anyone in the Jefferson family who isn’t involved in some kind of charitable effort. Some of these efforts are counted through our official community benefit report, but there are many other ways we demonstrate our commitment, every day."
From being part of the nation’s first full facial transplant team to creating innovative, sustainable textile solutions, our alumni have done amazing things over the last 200 years.
