Six million dollars of the donation from Pass It On To Kids Foundation will be used by Kenneth Alexander, MD, PhD, division chief of infectious diseases; Tamarah Westmoreland, MD, PhD, associate professor of surgery; and their teams to design and implement the first-in-human trial of Zika virus for women with advanced ovarian cancer who do not respond to other types of treatment.
The remaining $1 million will help grow the hospital’s music therapy program.
