Insights into Cancer public lectures
The Simms/Mann Center is part of UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, which is designated by the National Cancer Institute as one of only forty comprehensive cancer centers in the United States. As a national model for integrative patient care, we believe that comprehensive cancer care treats the whole person, not just the disease. The best care combines multiple modalities and considers the needs of the whole patient and family. The Simms/Mann Center offers the best of science combined with the most effective approaches that patient-centered care can provide.
In the quest to optimize wellness, most patients want and need information, guidance, and support that addresses nutrition and supplements, mind/body approaches, psychological concerns, and more. The Simms/Mann Center offers all of these services in one place.
