Karmanos Cancer Institute

Our Mission: To lead in transformative cancer care, research and education 
through courage, commitment, and compassion.

What’s New?
In August 2023, Karmanos Cancer Institute welcomed Boris C. Pasche, Ph.D., 
FACP, as its new president and CEO. “I, along with the researchers, scientists, 
and clinicians at Karmanos, are dedicated to Karmanos’ vision: A world free of 
cancer,” Dr. Pasche said. “We start the day with this in mind, whether seeing 
patients, analyzing clinical trial results, or creating potential new treatments in 
the lab. You can count on us continually looking for what will give our patients 
their best chance at beating this disease.”

When you choose to contribute to Karmanos, you’re aligning with one of the top 
comprehensive cancer centers nationwide to make a lasting and meaningful 
impact on the fight against cancer. We can’t do any of it without your help. 
Lead the fight against cancer. Please consider making a gift to provide our 
patients with every possible resource to give them their best chance. Visit www.

COTS

Mission statement: 
COTS creates opportunities for families to collaborate, thrive, and succeed in 
building strong and stable households, neighborhoods, and communities.

Through partnerships, we are able to assist families in reaching their housing, 
economic, health, education and career goals as they overcome homelessness 
and break the cycle of poverty for the next generation and beyond.

What’s New?
COTS offers various programs and services to assist more than 1,200 indi-
viduals daily — 60% of whom are children. Our programs include emergency 
shelter for families, supportive and affordable housing, children’s services, 
mobility coaching, and more. COTS exists to disrupt poverty and is proud to be 
the first certified Mobility Mentoring® Practitioner Organization from Economic 
Mobility Pathways in Boston, MA. Our Passport To Self-Sufficiency™ program 
uses a research-backed, trauma-informed coaching approach to assist families 
in establishing and reaching their housing, economic, health, education, and 
career goals as they overcome homelessness and break the cycle of poverty 
for themselves, the next generation, and beyond.
