Partners In Progress: Shaping The Future Of Childhood Cancer Treatment

In this panel, Stephanie Heathman (Business Development Lead, Opie Jones Foundation) discusses the Opie Jones Foundation’s mission, inspired by Opie, the 9th pediatric patient in Europe to receive a commercialized CAR-T therapy. The foundation supports families going through childhood cancer, advocates for CAR-T as early treatment, and addresses challenges like information gaps and financial barriers. Stephanie goes on to explain how partnerships with patient advocacy can have real-world impact on patients and their families.
