Mission

Patient Empowerment Network (PEN) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. PEN’s mission is to fortify cancer patients and care partners with the knowledge and tools to boost their confidence, put them in control of their healthcare journey, and assist them in receiving the best, most personalized care available.

Our programs enhance patient health literacy to enable shared decision-making and provide informational and educational resources to inform patients that clinical trials are an option throughout treatment.
