Meet the Founder

Peter Scalzo

After being diagnosed with high-grade bladder cancer 19 years ago, Peter was informed twice by a major cancer center in Manhattan that he should get his personal affairs in order and contact hospice. Peter's journey is ongoing and comprehensive: 15 mostly major surgeries, six recurrences, over 50 surgical procedures, countless tests, chemo-rinses, 8 weeks of radiation therapy, and 7 years of immunotherapy infusions.
