“After having personal experience with cancer and being with other family members and loved ones with cancer, I know how important Integrative care is. Treatment can be difficult, and the complementary services offered at CMC are critical to healing and bringing us back to health. EVERYONE should have access to these important treatments.”
Alice Gandelman, MPH, is the former Director of the California Prevention Training Center (CAPTC) and currently acts as a consultant to the Center at University of California, San Francisco. She directed CAPTC from 1994 to 2021. Prior to directing CAPTC, Alice provided training and capacity-building services throughout the US and internationally (Africa and Asia) in HIV and STI prevention and care.
Her current focus is on integration of social determinants of health, structural interventions, and combination prevention approaches to improve prevention outcomes among persons who are at greatest need, but with limited or no access to services. Her recent work has included helping to strengthen the public health workforce for COVID-19 via related training and capacity-building.
She envisions an environment where health equity exists for all and is committed to supporting health professionals to achieve that vision in their respective communities.
