Since our inception in 1996, the Rivkin Center has been a principle catalyst for national and international research efforts aimed at finding solutions to ovarian cancer. As an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we look beyond institutional boundaries and work collaboratively with scientists and physicians worldwide! We provide seed funding to develop innovative ideas and cultivate a strong ovarian cancer workforce.

We believe research and education must work in tandem to fulfill our vision of people living longer and healthier lives because ovarian and breast cancers are prevented, caught early, or cured.

Our Mission

To improve women’s health by helping them prevent, detect early, and survive ovarian and breast cancer.

We do this by:

• Investing in cutting-edge research to prevent, detect, and cure ovarian cancer, a deadly and underfunded
  disease.
• Educating women to prevent and detect ovarian and breast cancer as early as possible.
• Fostering an ever-growing community of survivors, patients, researchers, clinicians, advocates, and supporters.

Our Vision

We envision a world where women live longer and healthier lives because cancers are prevented, caught early, or cured.
