#HematologyTweetstory 22: This one is a doozy, and will be uploaded in stages. There are >1,500 cancer centers in the US! Currently 71 (<5%) are designated by @theNCI (newest is Miami's @SylvesterCancer). Where did they get their names? Mostly - but not always - via philanthropy: 
@theNCI Cancer Center program began in 1971. Today there are 51 Comprehensive Cancer Centers, 13 Clinical CCs & 7 Basic Laboratory CCs. To join this “club” a center needs >$10M annual research funding & has to file a huge (often >1000 pages) P30 Support Grant every 5 years.
We'll hit all 71 (!), in alphabetical order by state, beginning with Alabama. Note that some states don't have an NCI Cancer Center (AK,AR,ID,LA,MS,MT,ND,NV,RI,SD,VT,WY). Many American kids had to memorize a song like this one about 50 states in school:
@ONealIndustries gave $30M in 2018 as a naming gift to @ONealCancerUAB. Edward O’Neal (1818-1890) was Alabama’s 26th governor in the 1880s; his son Emmet was the 34th governor & grandson Kirkman O’Neal (1890-1988) was a Birmingham steel magnate and founded O’Neal Steel in 1921.
@UAZCancer, founded 1976, does not currently have a donor name, but would likely name their cancer center in Tucson after you if you gave $30-50M, which seems to be current going rate. @JeffBezos, you've given >$35M to the Hutch, but as a Southwest native here is an opportunity.
City of Hope started 1913 in Duarte as a TB sanitarium by Jewish philanthropists in LA, & became a full center in the 1940s. @BeckmanInst @cityofhope is named after Arnold Orville Beckman (1900-2004), @Caltech grad who invented the pH meter in 1924 & founded Beckman Instruments.
The @salkinstitute in La Jolla, California was founded in 1960 by Dr Jonas Salk (1914-1995) of polio vaccine fame. (#COVID19 vaccines will surely be large team effort, but will represent a comparable achievement to Salk's polio vaccine, given disruption to lives and livelihoods.)
@SBPdiscovery in La Jolla has 3 eponyms to recognize 3 big gifts: $10M in 1996 from noted sailor & San Diego businessman Malin Burnham (b.1927), $20M in 2007 from South Dakota banker T. Denny Sanford (b. 1935), and $100M in 2015 from property developer Conrad Prebys (1933–2016).
Moores Cancer Center at @UCSDHealth was founded in 1978 & named in 2000 after a $20M gift from Texas-born entrepreneur John Moores (b. 1944), former majority owner of the San Diego Padres and Regent of the University of California, and his wife Rebecca (they divorced in 2008).
@UCLAJCCC UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center is named after Kenneth Jonsson (1931-2010), son of @TXInstruments co-founder J. Erik Jonsson, and his wife Diana Gordon Jonsson (1930-2006), who gave $1M in 1975 to establish the center and continued to support it for many years.
@KeckMedUSC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center in Los Angeles is named after industrialist Kenneth True Norris Jr. (1930 –1996), founder of Norris Industries, who gave $500K of his own money & $3.5M Norris Foundation funds to USC in 1983 after a public funding referendum failed.
@UCIrvine Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center in Oranga, CA is named after siblings Allen Chao, Agnes Kung, Phylis Hsia, Richard Chao and their spouses, who have given >$30M to medical research. (Allen Chao & brother-in-law David Hsia founded Watson Pharmaceuticals.)
@StanfordCancer in Palo Alto: A. Leland Stanford (1824–1893) was California Governor, US Senator & Central Pacific Railway President US. With his wife Jane Lathrop Stanford (1828-1905) he endowed a University in 1885 in honor of their only son Leland Jr. who died of typhoid 1884.
No naming rights yet for @UCD_Cancer as far as I can tell. The N. California city of Davis - "Davisville" prior to 1907 - is named after prominent farmer Jerome C. Davis (1822—1881), who had 12,000 acres in the area. UCDCCC was founded in 1991 & got comprehensive status in 2012.
@UCSFCancer UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center was named in 2007 after philanthropist Mrs. Diller (1929-2015), who donated $35 million in 2003. Her husband Sanford Diller (1928-2018) founded Prometheus Real Estate Group, which owned 11,000 units in the Bay Area.
Does it seem like there are a lot of cancer centers in California? There are 10: 8 comprehensive & 2 basic. That's 14% of 71 @theNCI Cancer Centers. But California's population of ~40M is ~12% of the ~330M US population, and they pay 15% of Federal taxes. So it is proportionate.
@CUCancerCenter opened in 1985 and received NCI-designation in 1988. It is another one without a name, though one facility is on the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus @CUAnschutz, which is named for the philanthropy of successful ranchers Fred & Marian Anschutz.
@SmilowCancer Hospital @YaleCancer is named after Yale alumnus (class of '54) Joel E. Smilow, former Playtex CEO who gave a large gift in 2007. Yale itself? Named after East India Company's Elihu Yale (1649-1721), who Cotton Mather persuaded to donate £560 of trade goods in 1718.
@LombardiCancer was founded in 1970 & named after legendary football coach Vince Lombardi (1913-1970), diagnosed with advanced rectal cancer at Georgetown Hospital July 1970 and died in September. No one knows where Georgetown neighborhood got its name; possibly King George II.
@MoffittNews H. Lee Moffitt (b. 1941) was Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives from 1982 to 1984 and a major advocate of building a cancer treatment center in Florida. Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa opened 1986. Mr. Moffitt himself had a cancer in his leg at age 29.
@SylvesterCancer was founded in 1973 as "Comprehensive Cancer Center of South Florida", which is a bit confusing because the center did not yet have @TheNCI Comprehensive status back then. But in 2019 it did receive status, after much effort by @DrSDNimer and many others.
A 1986 $27M gift/pledge from namesake businessman Harcourt Sylvester (1927-2007) to @UMiamiHealth allowed construction of a new cancer center facility. Mr. Sylvester's father died of cancer in 1980. The family company, FASCO, was founded in upstate NY and made industrial motors.
Tomorrow we'll cross the FloridaGeorgiaLine with @WinshipAtEmory and then on to the next 2 dozen centers.
Fittingly, given all that @CocaColaCo has meant to Atlanta, former Coke CEO Robert W. Woodruff (1889-1985) gave $50,000 (=$1M today) to Emory in 1937 to found the Robert Winship Clinic, named after his maternal grandfather. His mother, Emily Winship, died from breast cancer.
@EmoryUniversity itself was named in 1836 after a Methodist bishop, John Emory (1789 – 1835), who died in a carriage accident near his home in Maryland. The year before his death, he presided over the annual conference of the Methodists in Georgia and was viewed favorably there.
@UHCancerCenter If I had $50M+, this is the one I would name. Established in 1981, it got NCI Clinical CC status in 1996 and until 2011, was "Cancer Research Center of Hawaii". @QueensMedical there is named after Queen Emma, who with King Kamehameha IV founded it in 1859.
@LurieCancer Mr. Lurie trained as an engineer but had a knack for real estate and investing. He was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer at age 46 in 1987 & died in 1990. He endowed @NorthwesternU cancer center, which was founded in 1974 & achieved comprehensive status in 1991.
@UCCancerCenter was founded in 1973 and achieved comprehensive status in 1998. It does not have a person’s name on it... yet. @UChicagoMed school is named after the Pritzker family, who own Hyatt Hotels and one of whom @GovPritzker is the current Governor of Illinois.
@IndianaUniv Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center achieved comprehensive status in 2019. Mr. Simon, who died in 2009, was co-chairman of Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group Inc. Mrs. Simon continues to run their charitable Foundation; a $50M 2006 gift established the name.
@PUCancerCenter has been an @theNCI basic research cancer center since 1978 (no direct patient care). It is in West Lafayette, IN (named after the famous Marquis de Lafayette). @PurdueUnivNews was named after John Purdue (1802-1876), an Indiana businessman & donor.
@UIowaCancer Holden CCC is named after Ronald W. and Arlene M. Holden, who gave substantial gifts in 1998 and 2000 (>$25M). The money came from Holden's Foundation Seeds, founded in 1973 by Roland Holden who died in 1995 of cancer. Holden's was sold to Monsanto in 1997.
@KUCancerCenter University of Kansas Cancer Center was designated as a clinical CC in 2012. No name yet – maybe one of the @Garmin co-founders (both billionaires from KC area) will someday give a big gift. Or Charles Koch of Wichita will emulate his brother David (see below)...
@UKMarkey Kentucky had a P30 cancer center as far back as 1975: McDowell Cancer Network, named after Ephraim McDowell of ovariotomy fame. In 1983, Markey CC was named for Lucille Parker Wright Markey (1896–1982), owner of the famous @CalumetFarm where Derby winners were bred.
@hopkinskimmel Since 2001, Mr. Sidney Kimmel (b. 1928) – who founded Jones Apparel in 1970, became a major figure in fashion, and later produced films - has donated >$150M to Johns Hopkins, which in turn is named after a Baltimore Quaker businessman and abolitionist (1795-1873).
@UMGCCC The name of the Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center recognizes a $10M gift by Baltimore philanthropists Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum. They made their money in real estate. Mrs. Greenebaum died in 2018, Mr. Greenebaum in 2017. Note the 3rd 'e' in Greene.
@df_hcc @DanaFarber OK this is home, so permit me a little extra description here. First, DF/HCC is 7 big centers; NCI didn't want to deal with us all individually. If you want to know about cancer research history in Boston, @DrSidMukherjee's famous book is the place to start.
Sidney Farber (1903 – 1973) joined @harvardmed faculty in 1929. Trained as a pathologist, he was one of the first people to dare to treat children with cancer with medications. In 1976, Farber's Children's Cancer Research Fund became the Sidney Farber Cancer Institute.
My office is in the Dana Building. Industrialist Charles Anderson Dana (1881-1975) managed Teddy Roosevelt's Presidential campaign, ran Spicer Universal Joints and many other companies, and endowed the Charles A. Dana Building in 1978. The SFCI became @DanaFarber in 1983.
You may know of the “Statue Of 3 Lies” in Harvard Yard: John Harvard didn’t look like that, didn’t found the University, and the plinth has wrong dates. John Harvard (1607–1638) was a Puritan minister who gave a bequest on his deathbed to a new college that became a big success.
@MIT had a Cancer Research Institute since 1974. @kochinstitute began 2007 w/ $100M from David H. Koch (1940-2019) whose family business, Koch Industries, specializes in petroleum refining & distribution. Mr. Koch had prostate cancer in 1992. His politics were controversial.
@jacksonlab in Maine was founded in 1929. Founder & former University of Michigan president C. C. Little (below, R) named it after Roscoe B. Jackson (L), one-time head of the Hudson Motor Company. Love this place; my first visit was at age ~16, the year before the 2nd big fire.
@karmanoscancer 1943: Detroit Institute for Cancer Research, then the Michigan Cancer Foundation. In 1995 it was named after Barbara Ann Karmanos, who died in 1989 at age 46 of breast cancer. Her widower Peter Karmanos Jr. (b. 1943) was CEO of Compuware and owned hockey teams.

@UMRogelCancer University of Michigan Cancer Center was founded in 1986 and became Rogel Cancer Center in 2018 after a $150M pledge from Richard and Susan Rogel. Mr. Rogel is president of an investment firm, Tomay, and was CEO of a health-insurance company (PPO Michigan.)
@UMRogelCancer University of Michigan Cancer Center was founded in 1986 and became Rogel Cancer Center in 2018 after a $150M pledge from Richard and Susan Rogel. Mr. Rogel is president of an investment firm, Tomay, and was CEO of a health-insurance company (PPO Michigan.)
@MayoCancerCare My alma mater. Named after immigrant GP William Worrall Mayo (1819-1911), who settled in Rochester MN during the US Civil War, & his talented surgeon sons William (1861-1939) and Charles (1865-1939). The brothers made the Clinic a charitable Foundation in 1914.
@MasonicCancer at the @UMNews was founded in 1991, got NCI status in 1998. Following a gift of $65M in 2008 by Minnesota Masonic Charities - the largest gift ever received by the University of Minnesota - the cancer center was renamed.
@SitemanCenter @BarnesJewish Hospital and @WUSTL School of Medicine in St. Louis - lots of eponyms here. In 1999, Alvin J. and Ruth Siteman committed $35M to the center, and since then, Mr. Siteman has made multiple additional gifts. Mr. Siteman founded Site Oil Company.
Barnes Hospital was founded at the bequest of St Louis wholesale grocer and banker, Robert Barnes, who died in 1892. Bet you can’t guess who Washington University was named after... 😉
@CancerDartmouth was founded in 1972, got NCI designation in 1978 and comprehensive status in 1980. Norris Cotton (1900-1989) was a US Representative from 1947 to 1954 then Senator until 1975. As a senator, he secured $3M federal funding for the Cancer Center’s establishment.
Next stop: New Jersey and New York. I really am planning to upload a tweet about all 71 (and Sloan Kettering needs more than one), Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise, so don’t worry if your center hasn’t been mentioned yet. But a brief pause now. 😴
@RutgersCancer Colonel Henry Rutgers (1745–1830) was a Revolutionary War Hero & donated a bond to "Queen's College" in New Jersey, which was founded in 1766 & named after Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, wife of the UK's George III. Renaming was already going on in 1825.
@UNMHSC UNMCCC first got NCI status in 2005 & achieved comprehensive status in 2015. @JeffBezos, this is another naming opportunity – in your home state, no less. Sidney Kimmel has 2, so why not you? New Mexico is so big, its geo. coverage area is the same as 20 NE NCI Centers.
I visited The Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center @unmc not long ago and they were incredibly nice & smart. Fred C. Buffett, who died in 1997 of kidney cancer, was a cousin of The Sage of Omaha, #WarrenBuffett. Mrs. Buffet is a philanthropist who taught kindergarten for >25y.
Eppley Institute for Research in Cancer and Allied Diseases @unmc was founded in 1960 & named after hotel magnate Eugene Eppley (1884-1958), whose properties were bought by Sheraton in 1956. (2 tweets is Nebraska's compensation for accidentally being listed after New Mexico.)
@ColumbiaMed had a cancer center as early as 1911, but achieved @theNCI status in 1972 & comprehensive status in 1979. Now known as Herbert Irving CCC after Herbert and Florence Irving gave $700M to Columbia & @nyphospital. Mr. Irving died in 2016 & was vice-chair of @Sysco.
@sloan_kettering MSKCC may only have 2 human names but has a complex history. First, the obvious: Alfred P. Sloan (1875–1966), head of @GM, gave $4M in 1945, overseen by @OfficialACDelco founder Charles Kettering (1876-1958), head of research @GM. But the hospital is much older.
"New York Cancer Hospital", founded in 1884 with $100K ($3M today) from John Jacob Astor III & wife Charlotte, became "General Memorial Hospital for the Treatment of Cancer and Allied Diseases" (sounds like a disease conspiracy) in 1899 & then just Memorial Hospital in 1916.
In addition to the Astors, who made most of their money in Canadian beaver furs & real estate, the 1884 NY hospital was funded by Arabella Huntington (1850–1924), widow of railroad tycoon Collis Huntington, who also founded @TheHuntington with all its Shakespeare First Folios.
In 2014, @nyulangone got $50M from Laura & Isaac Perlmutter & renamed CC. Mr. Perlmutter (b. 1942) was CEO of @Marvel & @Remington_US. Financier Kenneth Langone (b. 1935) founded @HomeDepot & is a longtime @NYU friend; he gave $100M in 2018 to make NYU med school tuition free.
Did you think Roswell Park was a place? Dr. Roswell Park (1852–1914) was a noted surgeon; he helped care for President William McKinley after assassination by an anarchist at Buffalo's Pan-American Exposition in 1901. @RoswellPark started in 1898 as Gratwick Research Laboratory.
Albert Einstein Cancer Center (AECC) was established in 1971 at @EinsteinMed and got comprehensive status as part of the first cohort in 1972. Einstein's surname became a byword for genius. I often wonder where physics would be if Einstein never existed - unthinkable.
@Tischcancer was named in 2008 after James S. & Merryl Tisch, who gave $40M to @MountSinaiNYC. Mr. Tisch (b. 1953) is the CEO of @Loews_Hotels hotel and theater congolmerate and is the son of Loews' founder. Mrs. Tisch was Chancellor of the New York State Board of Regents
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory @CSHL resulted from a 1962 merger of The Biological Laboratory (1890) and the Station for Experimental Evolution, founded in 1904 by the @CarnegieFdn. Scottish-born steel baron Andrew Carnegie was one of the great philanthropists of human history.
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center CCC @wakehealth achieved comprehensive status in 1990. Wake County was named after Margaret Wake (1732-1819), accomplished wife of North Carolina & New York colonial Governor William Tryon. Her father was East India Company Governor of Bombay.
@DukeCancer Institute started in 1971 & got comprehensive status early, in 1973. Durham native James Buchanan "Buck" Duke (1856–1925) gave $4M in 1925 to start @DukeHealth. Duke made his money in tobacco; he licensed 1st automatic cigarette maker & cornered the market by 1890.
@UNC_Lineberger received $1M from the Lineberger Foundation in 1977 to found the cancer center, and the family, which includes numerous #UNC grads, have supported it ever since. The family fortune came from textiles, especially combed yarn; the first Lineberger mill began 1835.
@OSUCCC_James "Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute", usually just called The James, is named after surgical oncologist Arthur G. James (1912-2001; at OSU from 1947) & pharmacist/store owner Richard J. Solove (1925-2011) who gave $20M in 1999.
Another multiple institution cancer center: @caseccc, which includes both CaseWestern and @ClevelandClinic. Cleveland lawyer Leonard Case (1820–1880) set aside $1.25M of his estate for "The Case School of Applied Science", which merged with Western Reserve University in 1967...

@OHSUKnight received $100M in 2008 and then $500M in 2013 from Phil Knight (b. 1938), founder of @Nike. @OHSUNews also received $100M in 2014 from Columbia Sportswear founder Gertrude Boyle (1924-2019), one of the largest ever cancer center gifts not resulting in a name change.
@PennCancer Abramson Cancer Center, established in 1973, was renamed in 2002 after a $140M gift from Leonard & Madlyn Abramson. Mrs. Abramson was a cancer survivor. Mr. Abramson worked his way up from pharmaceutical salesman to US Healthcare CEO: sold to @aetna in 1996 for $8.3B.
@FoxChaseCancer formed in 1974 when American Oncologic Hospital (1904) merged with the Institute for Cancer Research, founded in 1927. It joined @TempleHealth in 2012. The Fox Chase neighborhood of Philadelphia got its name from a 1705 inn that catered to the fox hunting crowd.
As a hematologist, I can't fail to mention the @MarioLemieuxFdn Lemieux Blood Cancer Center @UPMC, named after the Montreal-born Penguins hockey great who was cured of Hodgkin lymphoma in 1993.
@TheWistar in the University section of Philadelphia was founded in 1892 and named after prominent physician and Quaker Caspar Wistar (1761–1818). The money came from his great-nephew Isaac Wistar (1827-1905): lawyer, Civil War general, vice president of Pennsylvania Railroad.

@StJude was founded in Memphis in 1962 by comedian/actor Danny Thomas (1912-1991). Thomas was a Maronite Catholic who as a young man in Detroit had prayed to Saint Jude Thaddeus - patron of lost causes and desperate situations - to be able to provide for his family.
@BCMCancerCenter Texas native Dan L. Duncan (1933–2010), founder of Enterprise Products $EPD (a natural gas and oil pipeline company), gave $135M to @bcmhouston. @Baylor is named for R.E.B. Baylor, an 1840s judge who suggested founding a Baptist college in then-independent Texas.
Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center @UTSWNews was founded in 1988 with an initial grant of $41M from Harold and Annette Simmons (later >$100M); it got NCI status in 2010 & comprehensive status in 2015. Mr. Simmons (1931–2013) was a banker who invented leveraged buyouts.
@MDAndersonNews is named after Monroe Dunaway Anderson (1873–1939), cotton trader who moved to Houston in 1907. In 1941, Texas appropriated $500K to start a cancer hospital & the Anderson estate agreed to match that if the hospital would be part of Houston's Texas Medical Center.
Anderson, Clayton & Company grew greatly due to high WW1 cotton demand; it was acquired by @Quaker in 1986. Galveston had been the top US cotton port before a 1900 hurricane destroyed the city. MD Anderson moved from Oklahoma to Houston to see if there was opportunity; there was.
@UTHealthSAMDA bears both MD Anderson's name and now that of the Mays Family of L. Lowry Mays (b. 1935) & Peggy Pitman Mays, who have given >$30M. Mr. Mays started an investment bank in 1970; he also started the Clear Channel Communications radio network in San Antonio in 1972.
@huntsmancancer arose from Utah Regional Cancer Center (NCI designation 1986). The Jon M. & Karen Huntsman family made major donations so institute was renamed in 1995. Jon Meade Huntsman Sr. (1937–2018)'s Huntsman Corporation makes specialty chemicals. His son was Utah Governor.
A.T. Massey incorporated a coal company in Richmond, Virginia in 1920. In 1983, the cancer center @VCU, NCI-designated in 1975, was named @vcumassey in honor of a major gift by Massey descendants William & Evan Massey. Other family branches are philanthropists across US & Canada.
University of Virginia Cancer Center @uvahealthnews in Charlottesville was founded in 1984 & NCI-designated since 1987. (I lived in Virginia as a kid, which I thought was funny because it was my Mom's name too.) Virginia was named after England's "Virgin Queen", Elizabeth I.
@fredhutch, "The Hutch". "Pacific Northwest Research Foundation" was founded in 1956 by Dr. William B. Hutchinson (1909–1997). His younger brother Fred, who pitched for the @tigers, died of lung cancer at 45 in 1964, which inspired Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in 1965.
@UWCarbone started with the "McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research" in 1940; UW Comprehensive Cancer Center formed in 1973 and was named in 2006 after Hodgkin lymphoma pioneer Dr. Paul P. Carbone (1931-2002), who led the Center from 1978 to 1997.
Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center @JuHospital became an NCI-Designated Cancer Center in 1996. We talked about Mr. Kimmel above in the context of Johns Hopkins; remarkable to have 2 cancer centers named after one guy. His Foundation donated $110M to Jefferson in 2014 and $70M in 2019.
Unless I've forgotten one, we're now at the end of the 71 - what I am sure will be my longest tweet thread ever! First, I am struck by the magnitude of this collective philanthropy. In addition, all of these centers receive public money; all taxpayers contribute to some degree.
At a time when many despair about the future of America, I look at this legacy of generosity and have tremendous hope for our future. Each of these centers have also been supported by thousands of smaller gifts. And this is only NCI centers; there is a lot of local philanthropy.
Donors have been Republicans, Democrats, and of no known political bent; they have been Quakers, Jews, Catholics, Methodists, Baptists, Mormons, and people with no known religion. Some centers are named after inspiring doctors or scientists, or legislators who secured funding.
These centers have employed tens of thousands of people and cared for tens of millions of patients with cancer and their families, and enrolled >400,000 in clinical trials. I wish I had known all these stories at the beginning of my career.
The people behind naming gifts are often far from perfect, and the same is true of the centers and of the people who work there, including me. But all of us are united in hoping for an end to suffering from cancer. ❤️ /End.
