New Mexico Cancer Care Alliance Welcomes New Board Members, Participant and Affiliate Members

December 5, 2008

The New Mexico Cancer Care Alliance continues to grow as the Board of Directors of New Mexico Cancer Care Alliance voted to approve Dava Gerard, M.D. from Presbyterian Healthcare Services to serve as a board member and approved Dr. Sandra Mueller, M.D., PhD and Richard Mondragon, M.D, both with Petroglyph Pathology Services as Participants.
Additionally, the Central New Mexico Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, New Mexico/El Paso Chapter as Affiliate Participants were approved to Affiliate Participant status. Affiliate Participants are groups involved with cancer treatment, research, support and education. Affiliates work with NMCCA’s physician participants to increase knowledge of the role research may play in cancer treatments.
NMCCA looks forward to working with these new directors and participants and to the expertise that they bring to the organization.
New Mexico Cancer Care Alliance, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, offers New Mexico cancer patients and physicians access to the most up-top-date clinical research studies in cancer treatment. Our network of the major healthcare systems in Northern, Central, and Southern New Mexico and most of the community oncology professionals allows cancer patients to receive quality healthcare locally while increasing the knowledge of cancer care globally.
