Johnson Family Advances Mesothelioma Research with $500,000 Pledge to The Pacific Meso Center

02-22-2013

The Pacific Meso Center accepts the very generous pledge of $500,000 from the family of John Johnson to help build an innovative research and clinical care program between PMC and the Department of Veterans Affairs with the purpose of improving the way veterans are diagnosed and treated at the VA. “We want to help other families get diagnosed as early as possible, so that patients have a fighting chance to survive,” said Sue Johnson, widow of John Johnson.

The Johnson family encourages action with matching pledges to support the proposed Admiral Zumwalt Mesothelioma Research and Treatment Program, named in honor of Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, who died from mesothelioma nearly twelve years ago, and all Veterans fighting this horrible disease.
