Palm Isles Chapter

The Pap Corps is named for Dr. George Papanicolau, who pioneered the Pap Test for cervical cancer. Founded in 1993, the Palm Isles Chapter today has more than 550 members, including a men’s initiative. We hold monthly educational meetings with social lunches; an annual Walkathon; card parties; a fashion show; musical fundraisers, and more.

Mission statement

To enable and support, through the funds we raise, the vital research programs at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. The ONLY National Cancer Institute (NCI) designated center in Southeast Florida.
