This is so true: Wellness isn’t something you achieve in one day! You have to practice daily. So choose one small activity to incorporate into your daily routine and stick with it!

Clinical trials create hope, expand treatment possibilities, and move cancer care forward. Proud to be part of an institution where research and patient care go hand in hand. Thank you to UMMC Cancer Center and Research Institute for highlighting the impact of clinical research and the teams making it possible every day.

Clinical trials give patients access to promising new options and help researchers learn what works. This week, CCRI is honoring the people behind that progress. On Wednesday, employees and visitors learned about UMMC’s 200+ active trials and $110 million in research funding.
