ATLANTA - Philip Wilheit Sr., President and Managing Partner of Wilheit Packaging in Gainesville, has been named to the Board of Trustees of the Georgia Cancer Coalition.
The board provides governance, strategic direction and fiscal oversight for the Coalition, whose mission is to reduce the number of cancer deaths in the state by accelerating cancer prevention, detection, treatment and research.
"We are privileged to have Philip Wilheit as a new board member. He brings to the table a great deal of expertise and a sincere interest in the well-being of his community and the state of Georgia," said William J. Todd, President and CEO of the Georgia Cancer Coalition.
"Like everyone I know, cancer has touched my family: my father died of pancreatic cancer in 1990, only three months after being diagnosed," Wilheit said. "I want to be involved in growing Oncology services in our area and our state to the scale and capability that we need and deserve."
The Coalition is the first of its kind in the country.
