It is our hope to raise public awareness of the importance of new advances in healthcare and medicine. The use of differentiated stem cells offers a possible cure for diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Fetal cord blood banking can provide a life-saving cure for a child years later in life. Multiphasic cancer screening plays the key role in both life prolongation and preventive medicine.

The Foundation sponsors monthly and semi-annual events to enhance communication between healthcare proffesionals and members of the lay public.
