We believe collaboration is key!
Paladin believes in bringing partners and organizations together to strengthen our patient-focused efforts. Our strategic partnerships encompass major cancer centers and hospitals, academic institutions, government and non-profit agencies, advocacy groups, and professional associations. Our common goal is for patients to be educated and empowered to make the best choices for their care!
Paladin drew on its outstanding reputation in the patient arena to create a specialized Academic Board. We hand-selected healthcare, patient navigation, and communication specialists who are dedicated to the pursuit of the highest quality patient education.
These professionals, who are experts and active in their respective fields, provide ongoing input and a “real world” perspective to all that we do.
