Today, I’m excited to share my Coffee Talk interview with Dr. Rod Rocconi, Ergon Chair for Cancer Research and director of our Cancer Center and Research Institute.
Cancer has stolen too many loved ones from Mississippi families. To borrow the title of the fund drive to build a new cancer center at UMMC, "It's About Time" we do something about it. Leading that charge is Dr. Rocconi.
From recruitment to the path toward National Cancer Institute designation, he shared during our talk how CCRI is building the future of cancer care in Mississippi and the steps we must take to get there.
I hope you enjoy getting to know Dr. Rocconi better and, as I did, find renewed hope for cancer treatment, research and education in the state as we work together toward Building a Healthier Mississippi.
