Clinical Center of Excellence Announcement

Pheo Para Alliance has designated University and Politecnic Hospital La Fe in Valencia, Spain as a Pheo Para Clinical Center of Excellence. This is the first center recognized with this designation in Spain and third in Europe. The Center of Excellence Program recognizes institutions worldwide for providing cutting-edge, quality, multi-disciplinary care and participating in pheo and para and related research. The announcement of this center brings the total list of designated Centers of Excellence to thirteen, with more announcements coming soon.

Linda Rose-Krasnor, Chair of PPA states, “we look forward to working together to ensure patients in this area receive the quality, multi-disciplinary care provided by this stellar center. During the application process, we were especially impressed with the strong relationship with the local patient community, including the Spanish patient advocacy group, Pheipas. This is a true testament of the dedication by Hospital la Fe and Pheipas Association to ensure the patient voice is heard.

University & Polytechnic Hospital La Fe is the Reference Center of excellence at the Valencian Community. Inaugurated throughout 1968, it underwent a relocation and construction of a more modern building with the incorporation of the latest technologies in 2010.

Pheo Para Alliance Participates in a Day on the Hill

The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) held its annual Hill Day on Monday, April 24th in Washington, D.C. This event allows our members of Congress to hear directly from people in the communities they represent who work in or benefit from nuclear medicine.

This year, Pheo Para Alliance volunteers Karen Murdock and Patricia Horton, as well as our unofficial mascot, Phearless, joined our Community Engagement Specialist (and SNMMI Patient Advocacy and Advisory Board member) Aimee Powell to bring your perspectives and needs into this important conversation. They spent the day talking with members from California, Iowa, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Wisconsin about how important nuclear imaging and therapies are to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases like pheo para, and explaining that access to nuclear medicine and continued research in this area is crucial for improved outcomes.
