Discovery with a Purpose
Cancer, heart disease, brain tumors, neurological disorders, ensuring access to life-changing medicine for children, women, and underserved communities ... These are some of the great healthcare challenges of our time. Can you help transform the healthcare of tomorrow? Can you have an impact on the research discoveries that are key to overcoming these foes?
You can.
Why you?
You may have experienced the impact of illness on your family or friends—and the power of breakthrough medicine. Now you can do something to change the shape of healthcare, today and into the future. Your gift to the Campaign for Cedars-Sinai , can help us discover cures and treatments for your loved ones, your community and your world.
Why Cedars-Sinai?
You might know Cedars-Sinai as a hospital. Perhaps you know us as a research and teaching institution. We’re both . This enables us to take extraordinary care of individuals and families every day—and to produce life-saving, life-changing medical discoveries. Not only are we your community hospital—we’re also a world-recognized hub of biomedical research. Our track record reflects the vision, passion, expertise, and the deep commitment not just to discover, but to discover for life .
Why now?
Today we know more about human health and disease than at any time in medical history. Research under way in our laboratories is building on that knowledge. Each project holds the promise of discovery. To realize those promises, Discovering for Life: The Campaign for Cedars-Sinai will establish a $350 million endowment fund to ensure that life-saving discoveries continue to be made for generations to come.
