Pat Garcia-Gonzalez: One Year of Breast Cancer Program Success in Kenya

Pat Garcia-Gonzalez, Chief Executive Officer at The Max Foundation, shared a post on LinkedIn by The Max Foundation, adding:

“Today, I’m proud to reflect on a powerful milestone here at The Max Foundation: one year ago, we launched a program to provide access to treatment for advanced breast cancer in Kenya in conjunction with Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital and The Nairobi Hospital. Since then, over 200 women have benefitted from this program.

Additionally, in the past year, in collaboration with Kenyan Network of Cancer Organizations and ABC Global Alliance, we’ve expanded access to breast cancer education and care for women who have long been underserved.

As my colleague Cathy Scheepers, shares, this work is not easy. But it is essential. And it is deeply human.

Acting with humanity is not just about responding to crisis—it’s about building systems of care, equity, and dignity that endure. It’s about standing with communities, not just in moments of need, but in the long journey toward health and hope.

To our team, our partners, and most of all, the women who inspire us every day: thank you. You are the heartbeat of this mission.

Let’s keep going. ”

Quoting The Max Foundation‘s post:

“One year ago, we helped our very first patient with advanced breast cancer in Kenya. Today, we’re happy to share that this initiative has reached 200+ women living with advanced breast cancer, offering them not only treatment, but dignity and hope.

Read a heartfelt reflection from our Cathy Scheepers, our Regional Head of Africa, on the impact of this program and what lies ahead․

Together, we are demonstrating that when we unite for humanity through a shared commitment to health equity, lives change.”
