Jeannie Shen was appointed medical director of the Breast Program at Huntington Hospital, an affiliate of Cedars-Sinai, and medical director of the International Health Program at Cedars-Sinai Cancer at Huntington Hospital.
In 1991, the National Breast Cancer Coalition demanded that the federal government spend $300 million more on breast cancer research. This push resulted in the creation of the Department of Defense Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program, which has broadened to 34 other diseases with an FY24 budget of $1.5 billion.
