Christine Verini Announced as CancerCare CEO

CancerCare is thrilled to announce the appointment of Christine Verini to the position of Chief Executive Officer following the retirement of Patricia J. Goldsmith.

With over twenty years of oncology experience, Ms. Verini has been with CancerCare since 2011, most lately as Chief Operating Officer. Previous leadership roles include serving as Vice President of Corporate Communications and Advocacy at Eisai. She is Co-Chair of the Metastatic Breast Cancer Alliance's Awareness Task Force.

In 2022, Ms. Verini was featured in The Cancer Health Magazine’s 25: Quality of Life. In 2019, she was named as PharmaVOICE Magazine’s 100 Most Inspiring People. We look forward to continuing CancerCare's many important programs of support under her leadership!

CancerCare's Year in Review

At the end of 2023, we reflect on another busy year. Among our initiatives, we launched the first-ever bladder cancer helpline and myTRIAList, a resource that helps with clinical trials. Our new Employer Toolkit on Biomarker Testing helps employers make informed decisions about covering cancer biomarker testing for their employees. Closed captioning is now available for our Connect Education Workshops, making them more accessible to a wider audience. Successful galas in New York and New Jersey helped ensure continued free resources for those who need them, while a prestigious four-star rating from Charity Navigator demonstrated our commitment to financial accountability and organizational health.
