Dr. Jeremy Slone, MD – Memphis, TN

I am a pediatric hematologist-oncologist pursuing equity in the diagnosis and treatment of all children with cancer and blood disorders, through program development, capacity building and epidemiology research. Since 2010, I have engaged with local partners in multiple African countries including Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. Botswana was my focus for nine years, living there for seven years. I served as the Medical Director of the Texas Children's Hospital's Global Hematology-Oncology Pediatric Excellence (HOPE) program to develop a comprehensive national program for children with cancer and blood disorders through collaboration with the Botswana government and other stakeholders. Currently, I am an Associate Member (Professor) at St Jude Children’s Research Hospital in the Hospitalist Medicine Program and the Department of Global Pediatric Medicine/St Jude Global.
