CHLA took its mission of creating hope and building healthier futures to the streets again on Aug. 3, hosting the second annual Community Wellness Festival.

We are proud to recognize our Pediatrician-in-Chief, Dr. Alan Wayne, for his important role as one of the hosts at the recent Access4Kids Think Tank. This significant event brought together physician-scientists and thought leaders from across the nation to explore ways to revolutionize cell and gene therapies and access to them. As Dr. Wayne stated, "The Access4Kids think tank is helping us figure out how we can afford to provide these therapies to children in need. The road ahead is absolutely challenging; that said, the rewards are immense, and our obligation, our responsibility is to make this happen."
Mission Possible: Meet the community coming together to create Access4Kids, a novel nonprofit that will help pay for the wave of cell and gene therapies ready for clinical use in the next five years. These thought leaders are pioneering cures – and ways to pay for them. Kudos to the hosts of the 2nd annual think tank, held at the Children’s National Research & Innovation Campus: Drs. Catherine Bollard of Children’s National, Crystal Mackall of the Stanford Center for Cancer Cell Therapy, Julie R. Park of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Alan Wayne of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. #CellTherapy #GeneTherapy #CGT #RareDisease #PediatricCancer https://lnkd.in/eEKDmRmh
