Get Out the Vaccine for Covid 19
In 2021 the foundation was selected by the California GOTV medical academic consortium as led by UCLA – to conduct the “Get Out the Vaccine to Stop Covid-19” initiative for low-income populations in Monterey County, California. This has included house-to-house canvassing of residents to answer their questions about the vaccination process, make appointments for them and help with logistics; telephone and text reminders in select ZIP codes; and accessing special events.

Pancreatica.org
The purpose of this site is to act as a worldwide gathering point on the Internet for the latest news and disinterested information in regard to clinical trials and other responsible medical care in the treatment of primarily ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. Additionally, our aim is to present impartial knowledge where interested parties can sort through a large amount of information efficiently in order to give a sense of the range of existing treatment options, to aid patient/doctor partnerships, and thus to help optimize personal treatment strategies.

NETumor.net
Neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas (islet cell tumors) are much less common than tumors arising from the exocrine pancreas. Reports indicate that there are about two to three thousand cases diagnosed in the U.S. each year – although autopsy indicates that there may be a much higher incidence than are diagnosed. This NET resource maintains current information about the diagnosis and treatment for neuroendocrine tumors.
