Jane Brovelli
Managing Director, The V Foundation Wine Celebration
To date, The V Foundation has given over $170 million in cancer research
grants nationwide. Its annual Wine Celebration, held here in the Napa
Valley, has raised $80 million of that figure, so it’s no wonder
that we’re aligned with this community and the Queen of the Valley
Medical Center. In 2004 we started actively supporting the Queen’s
Cancer Wellness Program to sustain health maintenance and survivorship.
In 2013, we helped fund the Clinical Lab and Pathology Services Center
to rapidly identify a diagnosis and allow for patients to immediately
begin an individualized treatment plan.
Having an accredited facility close by is very important to us, and the
Queen is continually acquiring the latest technology and advances in treatments.
That’s a huge benefit for the physical and mental well-being of
the patients in this community. They can preserve their quality of life
before, during, and after a cancer diagnosis, and they can stay close
to home as they progress toward achieving victory over cancer.
