  • 2009 Calendar a NN KA R MA NO S CA N C in ER S T I TU TE Can C Er
    2009 Calendar HOPE A YEAR OF HOPE AND HEALING AT THE BARBARA ANN KARMANOS CANCER INSTITUTE CAN C ER. I’ve spent a good part of my life raising money, giving money and working in various ways to end this disease in our lifetime. I do this for literally thousands of families who face their fear of cancer and turn to Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute (KCI) because of its reputation as one of the best treatment centers in the world with a team of experts that helps in every aspect of the disease. I didn’t think I would ever get cancer. But when my wife Danialle and I found out that I did, like all cancer patients, we were scared. However, we had an advantage: we knew exactly where to go. KCI is the only hospital in Michigan solely dedicated to treating cancer–all types of cancer. It ranks number one as southeastern Michigan’s most preferred hospital for cancer care, according to research conducted by the National Research Corporation in 2007 and 2008, and is one of only 41 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the United States. The experts at KCI quickly pinpointed my problem: a cancerous tumor within one of my kidneys. The diagnosis was quick, but more importantly was 100 percent accurate. My wife and I were surrounded by a team of the best doctors, nurses and administrators in the world. They told us what to expect and left nothing to the imagination. The surgery was perfect, and in less than one week this 65-year old CEO was back to work.
