Head & Neck Cancer Foundation
Saving Lives Through Education, Advocacy and Research
In 2020, the Head and Neck Cancer Foundation was established by Dr. Kademani. Through philanthropic efforts, the foundation strives to promote education, research, and advocacy by raising awareness and promoting early diagnosis of head and neck cancer. During his life-long career as an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, Dr. Kademani has treated thousands of cancer patients and witnessed the implications of this diagnosis. Patient stories are often the same and treatment is impacted by delayed diagnosis, economic barriers, and limited research to improve outcomes. Our Foundation is proud to have the opportunity to impact patient outcomes and aid in the fight against head and neck cancer.
Mission:
The mission of the Head & Neck Cancer Foundation is to raise awareness of this disease in our community and nation. Measurable and progressive change can be accomplished by strengthening education, awareness, research, outreach and advocacy. Our ultimate goal is saving lives and improving outcomes of those affected by head and neck cancer.
