Vision, Mission and Our Values

Vision: Pacific Meso Center (PMC) was established with the goal of becoming the most innovative research and treatment organization in the world for patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM).

Mission: The Pacific Meso Center’s mission is to better serve a growing number of mesothelioma victims by supporting the first-of-its-kind in the nation research lab which provides laboratory-to-the-bedside research that improve mesothelioma victims’ lives and longevity, particularly for those that approach malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) as a chronic, treatable disease:

• The exploration of innovative ideas forms the foundation of The PMC’s unique research program and provides the promise of future treatment breakthroughs.

• With the opening of our new laboratory at 10780 Santa Monica, dedicated solely to mesothelioma research, and by choosing specific projects, we will get closer to finding better treatments and research that we hope will eventually lead to a cure.

• The PMC is dedicated to educating the public on asbestos-related diseases and informing them of their best treatment options.

• The PMC also connects newly diagnosed patients with patients that have been through treatment and provides assistance and emotional support.
