UT Southwestern Cancer Center

On February 29, 2012, former NFL linebacker, Chris Draft, visited the UT Southwestern Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center (Simmons Cancer Center) in Dallas, Texas.  Draft toured Simmons Cancer Center and met with hospital administrators, doctors, and staff to learn about the hospital's nationally-recognized Supportive Care Program.

Simmons Cancer Center is committed to treating the whole person-not just the disease.  The Supportive Care Program demonstrates that commitment.  The Program represents a collaborative approach to patient care involving a specially trained multidisciplinary team of cancer-specific psychologists, social workers, dietitians, chaplains, and behavioral scientists offering state-of-the-art therapeutic approaches tailored to the individual needs of patients and their families.

It takes a team to tackle cancer, and we need your help.  Respond and donate at www.teamdraft.org
