00:00:00.540 --> 00:00:03.180 align:middle line:10%
These are unsettling
times for us all.

00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:05.370 align:middle line:10%
My heart goes out
to everyone impacted

00:00:05.370 --> 00:00:09.300 align:middle line:10%
by the COVID-19 pandemic and
the upheaval it's caused.

00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:11.370 align:middle line:84%
Many cancer patients
are wondering

00:00:11.370 --> 00:00:14.130 align:middle line:84%
whether they should put on
hold lifesaving treatment

00:00:14.130 --> 00:00:15.540 align:middle line:90%
to avoid getting sick.

00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:17.760 align:middle line:84%
That is a difficult
question that no patient

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:19.290 align:middle line:90%
should have to answer alone.

00:00:19.290 --> 00:00:21.510 align:middle line:84%
The national network
of cancer-care experts

00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:24.880 align:middle line:84%
we're mobilizing this
effort is unprecedented.

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:27.600 align:middle line:10%
By combining forces
with other hospitals,

00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.460 align:middle line:10%
specialty cancer
centers will not only

00:00:29.460 --> 00:00:33.120 align:middle line:10%
make sure patients receive
uninterrupted care.

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:36.150 align:middle line:84%
We can also help relieve the
burden community hospitals may

00:00:36.150 --> 00:00:39.570 align:middle line:84%
experience as they focus
on treating COVID-19

00:00:39.570 --> 00:00:41.880 align:middle line:90%
cases during this pandemic.

00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:43.680 align:middle line:10%

I want you to know

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:45.600 align:middle line:10%
