RING THE BELL OF HOPE
Cancer patients traditionally ring a bell in the cancer center at the conclusion
of their cancer treatment. Ringing the bell is an emotional and triumphant
celebration of all the patient has accomplished - conquering fear, persevering
through uncertainty, enduring adversity and hardship, and hanging on to hope
with strength and a strong will to live.
When patients ring the bell at the Georgia Cancer Center, they celebrate this
tremendous milestone with the knowledge that they have their team at the Georgia
Cancer Center to see them through survivorship. Achievement. Support.
Advancement. The Augusta University bell tower logo means so much to so many at
the university and at the Georgia Cancer Center.
Each day, more than 100 Georgians learn they have cancer. These newly-diagnosed
patients want to know how to get on with treatment – and their normal lives – as
quickly as possible. At the Georgia Cancer Center at Augusta University, our
patients find the means, motivation and support to fight back. Here, they will
join a strong team of healthcare providers who will battle alongside them.
At the Georgia Cancer Center, our mission is to reduce the burden of cancer in
the state of Georgia and across the globe through superior care, innovation and
education. We work toward this goal one patient at a time. Our greatest success
is possible with the support of philanthropic partners who step up to ring the
bell of hope.

OUR VISION
While more and more people are surviving cancer and Georgia cancer death rates
decline every year, the decline is not as rapid nor as deep as we would like it
to be. Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in our state. One of
every five deaths in Georgia is attributable to cancer.
Our scientific research and compassionate care takes aim at those statistics,
working to improve the cancer profile of the state. But our patients are far
more than statistics and diagnoses. They are individuals and families, hopes and
dreams, determination and fear. And they need you.
OUR MISSION
To accomplish our mission of reducing the burden of cancer in our state, the
Georgia Cancer Center at Augusta University is on a journey to National Cancer
Institute (NCI) designation. The long-term path toward this significant goal is
paved with great strides in the areas of clinical care, research and prevention.
NCI-designated Cancer Centers meet the most rigorous standards for
transdisciplinary, state-of-the art research focused on developing new and
better approaches to preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. NCI Cancer
Centers are grant-funded to support deep and diverse scientific innovation for
even greater advances in cancer treatment discovery.
Our goals for NCI designation require us to recruit leading cancer researchers
and gather crucial support for translational research. We need new cancer
scientists from multiple disciplines and research interests, we need to improve
our infrastructure, and we need to expand our outreach efforts throughout
Georgia. Philanthropic support is essential for reaching this next step in
cancer care for Georgia and the surrounding areas.
Advancing Scientific Excellence
The most successful fights against cancer begin in the laboratory. In 2018, we
opened the $62.5 million expansion of the M. Bert Storey Research Building on
our campus, with significant support from our philanthropic partners.
Becoming a Destination Cancer Center
Ringing a bell of understanding means investing in robust patient care programs
that can make the cancer journey more bearable, and, at the same time, build a
destination center for cancer care excellence.
Meeting the Needs of Our Population
The Georgia Cancer Center believes in ringing the bell for all. We have
developed outreach programs designed to address the specific challenges that our
state and the Southeast region face.
RING THE BELL FOR GENERATIONS

clinical trials in the nation.

Community Connections
The Georgia Cancer Center is dedicated to empowering members of our community to
become catalysts for change. By fostering positive partnerships, we hope to work

risk of developing cancer. From prevention to survivorship, we strive to be the
community’s “go-to” resource for cancer treatment and care.
Community Connections
Patient Care

to special events; from screenings to research updates; from clinical care to
