The T-cell immunotherapy has demonstrated success in specific blood cancers, like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and select non-Hodgkin lymphomas, boasting response rates of 50% to exceeding 70% in clinical trials. Notably, CAR-T therapy represents a dynamic frontier in cancer treatment, with ongoing research and evolving clinical outcomes shaping its trajectory.
“In our Cancer Center of Excellence, we offer diverse opportunities for patient participation in cutting-edge clinical trials, contingent on research protocols and medical evaluation,” said Dr. Andres Alvarez, MD, PhD, Director, Oncology Research at Memorial Healthcare System. “Our clinical research focus includes the search for specific HLA-typed cells in solid tumor CAR-T clinical studies, as well as numerous other novel research opportunities. Our commitment to state-of-the-art oncology research is driven by cell therapies, pioneering developments in new treatment options for solid tumors, personalized medicine, genetics, biobanking, and treating patients with precision medicine. Novel types of immunotherapy, like reengineered T cells (CAR-T and TIL therapies) and other medical research advances, are part of this approach.”
T cells are a type of white blood cell that help the body’s immune system fight disease. In CAR-T cell therapy they are harvested from blood and genetically altered to produce synthetic molecules called chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). In the current study, the modified cells will be used for patients with solid tumors, with the hope that the CARs enable the T cells to recognize and attach to a certain protein in cancer cells and kill them.
The approach has had success in the lab and the research is now being extended to select cancer centers for use on patients that qualify. “Ours is a multi-disciplinary approach that includes physicians, scientists, research specialists, regulatory experts, Memorial’s Office of Human Research, its cancer institute, and the Moffitt Malignant Hematology and Cell Therapy program,” said Alvarez. “It’s a unique collaboration made even more effective by the enhanced technology and research capabilities of the new 122,000 square foot, $125 million dedicated cancer facility we’re opening that will provide additional space for studies and increased access to clinical trials for patients.”
Patients that qualify to participate in the CAR-T study can expect a minimum of six months of research visits, monthly oncology visits, and target treatments. Study qualification, participation, and results will be determined through medical oncologist evaluation.
To learn more about CAR-T cell therapy for solid tumors or any of the more than 75 clinical trials offered at Memorial, request information online or call 954-265-1847.

ACU is a uniquely transdisciplinary membership network uniting clinicians, advocates, and organizations in advocacy and clinical, operational and equity excellence to support clinicians caring for America’s underserved communities. According to research, underrepresented in medicine (UIM) clinicians are more likely to practice in and treat patients from disadvantaged neighborhoods. New research found that Black patients have better health outcomes when their medical provider is also Black. Therefore, the need to develop and support UIM medical professionals is critical to ensuring that patients from historically medically underserved communities have quality health care.
ACLM’s Health Equity Achieved through Lifestyle Medicine (HEAL) Initiative Scholarship Program, which opens each year in January, will be available to ACU members who are UIM clinicians doing innovative lifestyle medicine work that is impacting communities in need. The HEAL Initiative Scholarship Program, prepares participants to sit for the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine (ABLM) Certification Exam. Since launching the scholarship in 2020, nearly 60 UIM medical professionals have been awarded the $3,500 scholarship and nearly 70 percent of them passed the board exam.
“The synergy between ACLM and ACU is unmatched,” said ACLM Executive Director Susan Benigas. “More importantly, though, ACU’s strategic focus on health equity makes this partnership paramount in advancing ACLM’s HEAL Initiative, our commitment to address lifestyle-related chronic disease health disparities, and to diversify the lifestyle medicine workforce with UIM clinicians who are on the front lines of delivering care to some of our nation’s most underserved patients.”
Earlier this year, ACLM’s HEAL Initiative expanded its priorities to develop a FQHC outreach strategy. This ACU partnership, leveraging its Centers of Excellence and other initiatives to improve outcomes for health center patients, is a key strategy component. The Centers of Excellence program aims to identify and develop a framework of standards and create supportive resources to help health centers develop their capacity and excellence in critical areas to improve health equity. Thus, ACU and ACLM will collaborate to raise awareness about emerging issues and opportunities, best practices, case studies, and new research and data that can impact health centers across the country. In addition, to ensure that health center clinicians have the tools and resources they need to practice lifestyle medicine, ACU will co-construct a strategy for incorporating lifestyle medicine training into Teaching Health Center graduate medical education (GME) and other synergistic opportunities serving health center medical professionals.
“This strategic collaboration is a natural evolution of ACU and ACLM’s shared commitment to advancing whole-person, accessible, and equitable care for all,” said ACU Executive Director Amanda Pears Kelly. “Through the HEAL Initiative and beyond, this vital partnership will allow us to further support our FQHC community’s clinical, operational, and equity excellence to reduce health inequities in and improve care for America’s historically medically underserved communities.”
ACU is the leading voice for the National Health Service Corps and a national advocate for the health center workforce and health equity. Given both organizations’ role in advancing policy and supporting legislation, the partnership will continue to explore alignment and potential collaboration on advocacy and public policy positions and initiatives.
About ACLM The American College of Lifestyle Medicine is the nation’s medical professional society advancing lifestyle medicine as the foundation for a redesigned, value-based and equitable healthcare delivery system, leading to whole-person health. ACLM educates, equips, empowers and supports its members through quality, evidence-based education, certification and research to identify and eradicate the root cause of chronic disease, with a clinical outcome goal of health restoration as opposed to disease management.
About ACU The Association of Clinicians for the Underserved (ACU) is a uniquely transdisciplinary membership association uniting clinicians, advocates, and organizations in the commitment to establishing a robust and diverse workforce to help transform communities to achieve health equity for all. Founded in 1996 by participants in the National Health Service Corps (NHSC), ACU is the foremost advocate for the NHSC and leads advocacy, clinical, operational, and equity excellence and supports the healthcare workforce caring for America’s under-resourced populations.

“Most employers don’t realize there is a gap in their benefits until it’s brought to their attention,” said RESOLVE’s Chief Engagement Officer, Betsy Campbell. “Our Model Benefits remind employers that families are built in many ways, and that all employees deserve access to the family building options they need, whether they are in opposite- or same gender-oriented relationships or want to be single parents.”
RESOLVE’s Model Benefits for Family Building include IVF, fertility preservation, surrogacy, and adoption and are now a part of RESOLVE’s Coverage at Work Employer Toolkit. This free resource is available to HR and Benefits professionals looking to add inclusive family building insurance coverage and benefits for their employees. The toolkit also includes a study by Mercer showing no significant increase in cost to employers providing such benefits as well as other data on higher job satisfaction and loyalty among employees.
Since its inception in 2016, RESOLVE’s Coverage at Work program has brought new and expanded benefits to more than 3.5 million employees. And in most cases, it’s because an employee at the company educated themselves through RESOLVE’s program and then asked for the coverage from their employer. A companion Coverage at Work toolkit for employees is also available at http://www.resolve.org/coverageatwork.
“As the leading patient advocacy group focused on increasing access to all family building options, we’re so proud to launch these new model benefits at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s Annual Scientific Congress and Expo in New Orleans. Thousands of family building professionals from all over the world gather here to learn from each other and we want them to know we’re setting the standard for family building coverage and benefits for the people we serve,” said RESOLVE’s President/CEO, Barbara Collura.
Highlights of the model benefits include coverage for:
Infertility diagnosis and treatment, including intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF)
Fertility preservation for risk of infertility and fertility preservation for reproductive aging and other causes
Reimbursement for surrogacy, including medical, legal and other expenses
Reimbursement for adoption, including agency, legal and other expenses

“Welcome Cards are designed to reduce provider opt-out rates by building patient understanding and trust,” said RevSpring CEO Scott MacKenzie. “Subsequent messages delivered from the same number are now from a known contact, and clearly branded on receipt so every text message from the provider is more likely to be effective.”
Image View: RevSpring patient communications and statements use design theory and AI to ensure that critical information is read within the first 2 seconds of viewing, so patients are more likely to take the right action.
With Engage IQ Image View™, the same effective use of graphics is now available in email and text communications sent to patients.
