Cancer Treatment Centers of America chairman and founder Richard J. Stephenson was recently recognized by The Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans for his entrepreneurial spirit and passionate commitment to the wellbeing of others.
For the last 70 years, the Horatio Alger Award has been bestowed upon leaders who are committed to higher education and charitable efforts in their local communities.
In 1988, following his mother’s battle with bladder cancer, Stephenson opened his first CTCA hospital and committed to delivering cancer patients and their families with the Mother Standard of care — the kind of care you would want for your loved one.
