Overview
Mission
The World Stem Cell Foundation's goal is twofold -- to increase consumer knowledge about stem cell science, and to increase consumer health literacy, which will help patients and their family members to make informed choices about their health care and participation in stem cell therapies and clinical trials. The Foundation partners with credible organizations throughout the United States and around the globe to develop consumer-driven initiatives and collaborative projects, which are based on input gathered from stakeholders, public opinion polls and audience research. A central clearinghouse for stem cell information and a public education campaign with a dedicated Web site, interactive media and disease-specific resources are planned. They will make it easier for patients and family members to access the wide array of stem cell information available and to engage in dialogue about research news, clinical trials, educational events, and treatment options as these are announced.
