Tulane president joins Joe Biden in hospital tour
Fitts spent two hours with the vice president, including a tour of the cancer infusion center at UMCNO and a round-table discussion with nurses, a social worker, a patient and Dr. Cindy Leissinger, professor of medicine and chief of the Hematology/Oncology Division at the Tulane School of Medicine. After that meeting with cancer caregivers, Jill Biden tweeted, “You give so many patients and their families hope. Thank you.”
Joe Biden was the keynote speaker Wednesday afternoon for a meeting of the American Association of Cancer Researchers at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. President Obama recently chose Biden, who lost his son to cancer last year, to lead a “moonshot” attempt to cure cancer.
