About The Foundation<\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Harold and Carole Pump Foundation (HCPF) was established in honor of a beloved father who courageously battled cancer until his passing in 2000, and a loving mother who passed away in 2012. Inspired by their parents\u2019 strength, compassion, and legacy, brothers Dana and David Pump have dedicated themselves to making a meaningful difference in the fight against cancer.<\/p>\n

Through their extraordinary relationship-building abilities and strong partnerships within the community, Dana and David Pump, in collaboration with the Northridge Hospital Foundation, have helped raise more than $13.5 million to support the Carole Pump Women\u2019s Center, the Harold & Carole Pump Department of Radiation Oncology, the Pump Family Infusion Center, and the Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Cancer Center at Northridge Hospital Medical Center, and numerous other nonprofit community organizations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The Carole Pump Women’s Center offers women the most advanced diagnostic services and treatments at every stage of life. Female physicians and specialists provide care in a private, comfortable setting, with an approach that treats the whole person, not just the condition.<\/p>

Made possible through the Harold & Carole Pump Foundation, the Center provides comprehensive breast health and women’s wellness services including digital and 3D mammography, breast ultrasound and MRI, image-guided biopsy, bone density scanning, and full OB-GYN care. Accredited under the Mammography Quality Standards Act and FDA-certified for safety and quality, because the women this Foundation serves deserve nothing less.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Harold & Carole Pump Department of Radiation Oncology is the only treatment center in the San Fernando Valley offering a comprehensive range of advanced radiation therapies under one roof. From IMRT and Brachytherapy to Leipzig Brachytherapy for skin cancer treatment and the Trilogy Linear Accelerator for stereotactic radiation therapy, patients here have access to options that simply aren’t available anywhere else in the Valley.<\/p>


Funded through the Foundation’s decades of giving, this department was built on the belief that where you live should never determine the quality of care you receive. For cancer patients in the San Fernando Valley, that belief shows up every day in the treatment room.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Serving the San Fernando Valley since 1994, the Leavey Cancer Center provides comprehensive cancer care under one roof, from chemotherapy and surgical oncology to radiation, interventional procedures, nutrition support, and massage therapy. Treatment plans are built around each patient using molecular diagnostics and the latest cancer therapies, with robot-assisted surgery available for greater precision and faster recovery.<\/p>

The Harold & Carole Pump Foundation has been a driving force behind the Center’s growth for over two decades, funding expanded services and supporting the patient navigator program that connects every newly diagnosed patient with an RN navigator and patient advocate from first appointment through survivorship. Because a cancer diagnosis is hard enough without having to figure it out alone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\u201cWhen you help others, you create magic. Some people just talk about it, but David and Dana Pump, through the Harold Pump Foundation, do something about it. What is our life about, if not to help reduce the pain and suffering of others? This Foundation has raised over $1,300,000 in its 6 years of existence; I would say they have created a lot of magic in many cancer patients\u2019 lives.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
