| Submission declined on 5 October 2024 by JSFarman (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

| Submission declined on 16 September 2024 by Timtrent (talk). This is a portmanteau article. Please decide what the topi is. Is it Gordon, CCC, JStreet? Then write one, or write all three. This article tries to be everything and that is not appropriate.
The tone is that of a magazine. Please flatten the prose, removing any adjectives that seem to enhance the text This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject. Declined by Timtrent 2 months ago. | |

Comment: The article needs to be neutral; this reads like promotion. Also, per the style manual, please use "Gordon" in the body of the article, not "Dr. Gordon". JSFarman (talk) 16:11, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
Patricia Gordon MD is a Radiation Oncologist and medical activist. She graduated from Harvard University in 1978, completed her medical degree at UCLA School of Medicine in 1982, and performed her internship at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center from 1982 to 1984.[1]
Medical Career
editGordon practiced as a Radiation Oncologist for 26 years. She was a partner at Beverly Hills Radiation Oncology and served on the medical team at Beverly Hills Cancer Center.[2]
Transition to Non-Profit Leadership
editIn August 2014, Gordon retired from clinical practice to focus on leading CureCervicalCancer (CCC), the non-profit organization she founded. CCC is committed to saving women's lives in developing countries through the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer.[3] CCC is the first and only mobile HPV screening and treatment program in the world. It is primarily based in Kisumu County, Kenya with catchments throughout all the regional counties where HPV and HIV is endemic.
Gordon has established 106 sustainable clinics with CCC throughout Africa, Central America, Haiti, and southeast Asia. These clinics are designed to remain operational for years, due to locally trained healthcare professionals and the "Clinic in a Suitcase" model. This model provides all the necessary equipment and training for ongoing cervical cancer prevention efforts.[4]
In 2021, CNN selected Gordon as one of their 10 Heroes of the Year, recognizing her commitment to preventing cervical cancer in impoverished areas worldwide.[5]
From 2023-2024 Gordon served on the Democratic National Finance Committee. [6]
JStreet
editGordon serves on the Board of Directors for JStreet,[7] "established in 2008 as the first-ever federal political action committee (PAC) to explicitly promote American leadership to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The PAC's goal is to demonstrate the depth and breadth of political support that exists for candidates who speak out in favor of a diplomacy-first approach to advancing US interests in the Middle East and promoting peace and security for Israel."[8]
Gordon took part in establishing the Len Hill Education Program, in honor of her late husband. The program has brought over 60 members of U.S. House Representatives, over 100 key congressional staffers as well as several members of the U.S. Senate to Israel to learn about the geopolitical issues.[9]
Philanthropy
editIn honor of her late husband, Leonard Hill, she established the Len Hill Charitable Trust (LHCT). Gordon has served as Trustee and leader of LHCT, allocating millions of dollars to impactful nonprofits supporting low-income students in Los Angeles and other projects around the country.[10]
