He has created a culture that places the best interests of our patients as the central focus in the mission to deliver tomorrow’s care today through innovative practice changing clinical trials. Operationalizing this mission has required an enormous effort by our leaders, our staff, and our enrolling sites. As President, I am committed to continue to foster this outstanding culture in supporting our mission and to build upon our success, while conquering new challenges ahead for GOG-F and for our patients that we are so honored to serve.”
