Cancer care coordinators are a free community service of the Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center at Scottsdale Healthcare. They are oncology-trained nurses who help thousands of cancer patients and their family members navigate the complex world of cancer care.
 
“The Cancer Care Coordinator serves as a single point of contact for cancer patients, offering guidance and education from the time of diagnosis to treatment and follow up,” said T.I.M.E. event co-chair Jo Kleist.

Playing for T.I.M.E. (Technology, Imaging, Management and Education) is a popular event, founded by a group of community leaders in 1995 and raising more than $1.6 million to date.
