The Beautiful Gate
The Beautiful Gate Cancer Support and Resource Center (TBG) a non-profit, culturally sensitive community organization was born from a desire to help reduce late stage cancer diagnosis to women in medically underserved communities in the State of Florida and beyond.
The Beautiful Gate is unique because of its founder, Pamela Burnett, who discovered that through her own fight with breast cancer there were no local resources for women of color. Ms. Burnett has been given a special gift in creating an environment of trust, confidence and reassurance that someone who has travelled the path truly understands and can navigate patients to appropriate resources in the medical maze.
For over 15 years, The Beautiful Gate, under Pamela Burnett’s leadership has strategically established authentic relationships with health providers, faith leaders, institutes of higher learning and most importantly individuals infected or affected by a cancer diagnosis. These relationships continue to increase and have assisted The Beautiful Gate with removing barriers to quality education, treatment options, insurance, financial support and emotional stability.
