June 2, 2025Categories: Awards and Recognition
The Connecticut Brain Tumor Alliance (CTBTA) has generously granted $25,000 to support the Brain Tumor Center at Smilow Cancer Hospital at Saint Francis Hospital.
The $25,000 grant will support patients and families of the Brain Tumor Center.
Since 2009, CTBTA’s support has enabled the Saint Francis Cancer Center to better meet the specialized health and social care needs of brain tumor patients and their families and caregivers. Their partnership on care navigation and patient assistance ensures patients receive comprehensive, compassionate care and that their stress is alleviated as much as possible throughout their care journey.
Since the CTBTA began raising money to aid hospitals in research and patient support in 2008, it has garnered and donated over $2.1 million. The organization, which had a record-setting year in 2024 in terms of donations, granted $190,000 to the five Connecticut Hospitals where brain tumor surgery is performed and patient support is provided, as well as to the Healing Meals Community Project.
