Our Mission

The YL Wong Foundation has two core goals: to empower patients and caregivers with generative AI tools and knowledge, while also advancing better early detection strategies for pancreatic cancer.

Empowering Patients Today

For patients and families facing cancer today, we help leverage the power of generative AI to provide clear, personalized guidance through the cancer journey. This technology helps patients better understand their specific diagnosis, decode complex medical terminology, track treatment options and potential complications, manage medical records, and coordinate care.

We believe that navigating cancer shouldn't require a technical degree. When faced with a cancer diagnosis, patients and families should focus on their care—not on struggling to remember critical information or understanding complex medical details.

Building a Better Future

Looking ahead, we are committed to researching and advocating for improved early detection strategies for pancreatic cancer. This includes studying successful screening approaches from medical centers worldwide, analyzing detection rates and outcomes across different healthcare systems, and identifying the most effective protocols and technologies.

We aim to bridge the critical gap between current standard U.S. healthcare practices and ideal screening for high-risk patients, ensuring that individuals with elevated risk can access proactive screening protocols.

While our initial focus is pancreatic cancer, our guidance can help patients across all diagnoses better navigate the complex world of healthcare technology and information. By helping patients and their families access and understand the tools and resources available to them, we continue Yuk Ling's spirit of determination and compassion, ensuring that no one faces these challenges alone.
