PAND Society had the pleasure of hosting Mrs. Sadler, founder pf PACI in our December meeting. Mrs. Hoori Sadler established the Persian American Cancer Institute (PACI), a non-profit, non-denominational organization with the focus on addressing the specific needs of Persian-American cancer patients.

Mrs. Sadler, a cancer survivor, and her organization aim to reduce the impact of cancer today and eliminate the threat of cancer tomorrow in our community.

PACI aspires to pave the road to healing and serve as a reminder that you are not alone, and that there is indeed life after cancer. The organization strongly believes that love, compassion, and hope are vital to the fight against cancer. Fear and shame do not exist where there is awareness, knowledge, and hope.

PACI strives to heal not only the debilitating cancer, but also the fragile heart and human spirit that weaken during such a traumatic process.

With the support and endorsement of some of the best known cancer institues, and the recruitment of community leaers, artists, activists, survivors, and their families, the organization is determined to make a difference. PAND Society salutes Mrs. Sadler for her commitment to fighting cancer. At the meeting, almost all non registered members of PAND donated DNA samples and joined the Bone Marrow Registry.
