You’re in the best of hands.
From the perspective of patient care, research innovations, training new cancer specialists, and providing service to the state of Iowa, leadership for Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center has never been stronger.
The physicians and researchers who direct Holden’s activities are prepared for their role as leaders because they also are:
- Principal investigators in groundbreaking cancer research
- Experts at the national and international level shaping priorities for cancer research and care
- Communicators about cancer successes and challenges for local and national audiences
- Mentors for young doctors and researchers who will carry the Holden legacy into the future
- Family members who have themselves been touched by cancer
