Cold Cap &
Cooling System Techonology

We committed to bringing a new and important technology to cancer patients at the Gemelli Hospital, the cold cap and scalp cooling system. This equipment helps patients mitigate hair loss at Gemelli ART (the Radiation Oncology Department of Policlinico Gemelli during chemotherapy. We realized that hair loss which often accompanies chemotherapy marks a patient's lives deeply and reduces their ability to respond positively to treatments. We raised $34.000 for this technology through a GoFundMe action and then sought private matching funds from leading Italian corporations. And now, upon the successful completion of this project, we are pleased to give the opportunity to the patients that have to undergo these therapies to preserve their image, maintain their self-esteem, and increase resilience.
