In this powerful episode of The Cancer Has No Borders podcast, host Zach Randles-Friedman sits down with Pat García-González, co-founder and CEO of The Max Foundation, an organization that has transformed global cancer care in more than 80 countries.
What began as one family’s response to losing 17-year-old Max to leukemia has grown into a worldwide movement delivering lifesaving treatments, hope, and dignity to more than 100,000 patients across low-resource nations. Pat shares the deeply human story behind the foundation’s creation, the logistical and cultural challenges of providing equitable cancer access, and moving stories of patients and families whose lives have been forever changed.
From coordinating medicine delivery to remote islands to breaking the stigma surrounding cancer in underserved regions, Pat reveals how compassion, collaboration, and relentless determination can reshape what’s possible in global oncology.
