MSK hosted a screening of the documentary "Living Drugs," which tells the story of the development of CAR T cell therapy and highlights Dr. Michel Sadelain's role in driving discovery. Congratulations to Dr. Sadelain on the film, which is a testament to his groundbreaking work.

Happy anniversary to three of our MSK locations - MSK Rockefeller Outpatient Pavilion, MSK Nassau, and MSK Hauppauge. And a special thank you to the MSK team members at these facilities whose care and dedication help people with cancer reach milestones of their own.

I hope all of you are enjoying this special time of year, when summer invites us to slow down and reconnect with the things we love and the people who matter to us.
