Richard and Stacie Stephenson

Stacie and Richard J Stephenson, both born and raised in the heart of the Midwest, believe that empowerment is a fundamental human right and that the strength of the human spirit knows no bounds. As philanthropists, entrepreneurs, and healthcare professionals, the Stephensons live by this ethic in everything they do. From their joint efforts to revolutionize cancer treatment and care through their work at Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA), to their leadership of Gateway for Cancer Research and tireless support of global poverty eradication programs, disaster relief initiatives, services and advocacy for victims of child abuse and neglect, and advancing our understanding and treatment of neurological diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, among many other causes, Richard and Stacie are champions of organizations working to empower people with the information, resources, and tools they need to overcome adversity.
