City of Hope is redefining the future of medicine. Our scientific breakthroughs are resulting in more effective treatments for people with cancer and other life threatening diseases. Our mission is to shorten the time from initial idea to new treatment — conducting innovative basic research, providing excellent clinical care and significantly strengthening our infrastructure. We are well-positioned for even greater achievements.

City of Hope’s 2007–2013 strategic plan articulates our vision for the future, outlines our priorities — built around our core expertise in cancer — and provides us with clear metrics for evaluating our progress as we approach our 100th anniversary in 2013.
