Congressman Al Green Joins U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra for MD Anderson Cancer Moon Shots Event
“I am honored to welcome Secretary Becerra to Houston and accompany him on a tour of MD Anderson, a premier institution for cancer care and research of international renown. Since 1944, MD Anderson has welcomed nearly 1.8 million people for cancer care and in 2021 alone cared for over 174,000 patients,” Congressman Al Green stated. “One of MD Anderson’s most ambitious cancer detection, prevention, and treatment initiatives is the Moon Shots Program launched in 2012. Inspired by President Kennedy’s promise 60 years ago to put a man on the moon, the goal of this program is to drastically reduce cancer mortality and suffering in 13 cancer types, which will form the basis for future treatment of all cancer types.”
