Leverage Washington’s Talent

Support the Best Science

Optimize the use of public funds by giving priority to research utilizing the best science and technology with the greatest potential to improve health outcomes.

Advance Innovation

Advance the biotech, medical device, and health care information technology industries in Washington.

Maximize Investment Impact

Incentivize additional investment by requiring private or other nonstate resources to match public funds.

Serving on the CARE Board gives me the chance to make a difference and honor those touched by cancer by promoting groundbreaking research in Washington. I personally know the impact of this research, and I also know the importance of using our precious time to serve the greater good.
