Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center Advisory Council
The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center Advisory Council is a select group of visionary leaders who are passionate about making a difference in the fight against cancer. Serving on the council is an extraordinary opportunity to advance the mission of one of the nation’s leading cancer centers and help reduce the suffering caused by a disease that kills nearly 600,000 men, women, and children in the United States every year. In support of Jefferson’s vision, advisory council members enhance the center’s innovative work by providing mission-based leadership and strategic guidance to the director, and by serving as high-level ambassadors for Jefferson. Through their engagement on the council, members develop an intimate understanding of center and its vision to transform cancer care and, by serving as advisors, they become part of Jefferson’s legacy of innovative, high-quality, and compassionate healthcare that spans two centuries and counting.
