The National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship presented the third annual Ellen L. Stovall Award for Innovation in Patient-Centered Cancer Care to Gay Crawford, founding director of Cancer CAREpoint, and Norman Coleman, senior investigator at NCI.

Since her diagnosis of breast cancer at age 30, Crawford spent the last 44 years playing a leadership role in bringing patient-focused cancer care to the Silicon Valley area. She helped found and lead numerous organizations, including the non-profit organization Cancer CAREPoint, which provides a wide-range of cancer support services in Silicon Valley free of charge.

Coleman is the director of the Radiation Oncology Sciences Program. Coleman leads a laboratory at NCI focusing on radiation-induced molecular and immunotherapy targets.

Named for former NCCS CEO, Ellen Stovall, who died in 2016 due to complications from three cancer treatments, the award seeks to highlight those who continue Ellen’s work of transforming cancer care to further incorporate patients’ goals, needs, and values.
