Loosely translated, Medici means “good medicine” or “number one medicine” in Japanese. The Foundation makes grants for cutting edge cancer research and treatment, community health initiatives, and state-of-the-art equipment. Kenneth M. Tokita, M.D., is the founder and President of the Medici Foundation. The goal of the Medici Foundation is to improve the health and quality of life in our community through medical research, education, and treatment.
“The dream is to cure without harm. If we can make people better by improving the quality of their life and extending it, that’s a small step. And 99 percent of medical research is about small steps.”
-Kenneth M. Tokita, M.D.
