Strategic Partnerships & Global Collaboration

Building Global Partnerships to Accelerate Medical Innovation

As part of our commitment to advancing world-class research and improving patient outcomes globally, the BC Medical Advancement Foundation is actively developing strategic collaborations with two internationally recognized healthcare institutions: Houston Methodist Hospital and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

These exploratory partnerships aim to strengthen research capabilities, expand access to innovative care models, and support high-impact programs across our core funding areas.

Houston Methodist Hospital

Preliminary dialogue with Houston Methodist focuses on collaborative opportunities in:

  • Translational oncology and rare-disease research
  • Early diagnostic innovation using AI and digital tools
  • Capacity-building programs supporting hospitals in resource-limited settings
  • Joint pilot initiatives that bridge laboratory insights with real-world patient care

Both teams are currently assessing feasibility pathways and shared research priorities.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center

Cedars-Sinai, a global leader in clinical innovation and neurosciences, is exploring collaboration with us in:

  • Neurology research, including early-detection biomarkers for brain disorders
  • Rare-disease data frameworks and global patient registries
  • Clinical innovation exchanges to support cross-institutional learning
  • Evaluation of emerging treatment models aligned with our funding priorities

These discussions highlight a shared belief that coordinated international collaboration can accelerate medical progress and expand the reach of life-changing therapies.

A Shared Commitment to Global Health Impact

While still in the exploratory stage, these potential partnerships reflect our commitment to:

  • Advancing evidence-based medical research
  • Strengthening global healthcare systems
  • Expanding access to diagnostic and treatment innovation
  • Improving long-term patient outcomes worldwide

Together with leading international institutions, we aim to build a more connected, research-driven medical ecosystem that benefits patients everywhere.
