Dr. Carolyn Tucker receives President’s Lifetime Achievement Award

In recognition of her tireless service to building healthier communities and providing hundreds with power over cancer, Carolyn M. Tucker, Ph.D., has received a 2024 President’s Lifetime Achievement Award from the office of U.S. President Joe Biden.
