Ronnie Lippin Cancer Support and Navigation Project Launches with Tower Cancer Research Foundation
The Ronnie Lippin Cancer Support and Navigation Project has been established at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to aid undeserved cancer patients.
The program is funded by a grant from the Lippin Family Trust as a tribute to the late music publicist and manager, who died of breast cancer in December 2006 at age 59. The program is designed to provide “assistance to cancer patients with non-conducting assessments of the patient and/or caregiver needs, in-language aid and assistance with medical appointments, information and test results, and providing resources such as mental health support and making referrals to address mental health issues,” per Tower Cancer Research Foundation. “Naming the program after Ronnie Lippin, a trailblazing figure in the music industry, adds a beautiful layer of meaning to the initiative.”
