Application Title:
Establishing a CIRM Community Care Center of Excellence in the Central Valley
Public Abstract:
A Community Care Center of Excellence will expand local access to gene and cellular therapies for a diverse and underserved part of California. This initiative will bring cutting-edge gene and cellular treatments to patients, eliminating the need for long-distance travel for therapy access.
Statement of Benefit to California:
A Center of Excellence in Central California will fundamentally transform access for thousands of the state's citizens. Currently, patients needing advanced gene and cell therapies must endure costly journeys away from their crucial support networks, often leading to financial hardship or forgoing care entirely. This project directly addresses a critical geographic and access gap, ensuring that diverse, underserved, and underrepresented populations can receive these treatments close to home.
