We’re pleased to announce three new additions to the JNF Board of Directors. 🧡
Michelle Zima joins us as Vice President.
A Stage IV kidney cancer patient and active advocate, Michelle helps lead our Stage IV Support Group, serves as Florida Advocacy Lead for KidneyCAN, and hosts our monthly Patient Open Forum. She is already a trusted presence in our community, and we are grateful she is stepping into this leadership role.
We are also proud to welcome Dr. Jonathan Chatzkel and Dr. Brandon Manley of Moffitt Cancer Center as Medical Advisors and Board members.
Dr. Chatzkel is a medical oncologist specializing in genitourinary cancers who has supported JNF’s educational programs for years.
Dr. Manley is a surgeon-scientist focused on the surgical treatment and research of kidney cancer. His work includes genomics, biomarkers, and clinical trial development.
Together, they bring medical oncology, surgery, research, and clinical trials expertise to the table alongside the patients and families we serve.
We also extend our sincere thanks to Dr. Padraic O’Malley for his years of service as Chief Medical Advisor. He remains part of the JNF family, and we are deeply grateful for his guidance and support.
Please join us in welcoming Michelle, Dr. Chatzkel, and Dr. Manley to the Board. 🧡
