Replacing the fear of cancer with hope, confidence, and positivity

Dr. Zeyad Baker is the Co-Founder of Cancerify and the Founder and CEO of Baker Health. An award-winning, board-certified pediatrician, he is recognized as one of the leading pediatric physicians in the country. Through Baker Health, he has dedicated his career to transforming healthcare by combining advanced technology with exceptional hospitality to deliver a more personal, accessible, and patient-centered experience. His vision is redefining modern healthcare by putting people first while using innovation to improve every step of the patient journey.

While building Baker Health and pursuing his mission to improve healthcare for everyone, his wife, Miriam Baker, was diagnosed with cancer. Doing everything possible to support and save his wife, Dr. Baker experienced firsthand the uncertainty, fear, and complexity that millions of patients and families face every day. That deeply personal journey opened his eyes to the challenges of navigating cancer care and reinforced his belief that patients deserve greater access, guidance, and support.

Inspired by that experience, he co-founded Cancerify with a mission to make world-class cancer care accessible to everyone. Through Cancerify, Dr. Baker is helping patients connect with leading physicians, top cancer centers, clinical trials, and trusted resources while transforming the cancer experience from one defined by fear to one centered on hope, empowerment, and possibility.

Johnny Nunez is the Co-founder of Cancerify and has spent his life advocating for people, giving a voice to communities, and shining a spotlight on issues that matter. Over the course of several decades, he has documented countless historic moments and influential figures, becoming one of the most respected and recognizable photographers in the world. He has helped countless A-list musicians and actors before they achieved professional stardom and is widely loved and respected. While his work has earned him international recognition, those who know Johnny best recognize him for something even greater, his compassion, generosity, and unwavering commitment to helping others.

Long before becoming a pioneer in the world of hip hop, Johnny pursued a career in radiology, driven by a genuine passion for helping people affected by cancer. Although his professional path eventually led him down another path, that passion for making a difference in the lives of cancer patients never faded.

Johnny has dedicated himself to ensuring that every person, regardless of their background or circumstances, has access to the highest quality cancer care. He believes awareness is only the beginning. Real impact comes from connecting people from all walks of life with a similar cause to bring the most attention to positivity. His mission is to help eliminate barriers to care, inspire hope, and ensure that everyone has the same opportunity.

Bardia Pourkanan is the Co-Founder of Cancerify and a passionate advocate for innovation, accessibility, and equality in healthcare. His commitment to Cancerify was born from personal experience after watching his mother battle cancer and witnessing the emotional toll, uncertainty, and fear that his entire family endured throughout the journey. That experience fundamentally changed his perspective and convinced him that the cancer care system needed to become more accessible, transparent, and patient-focused.

Bardia firmly believes that every individual deserves the same opportunity to receive exceptional cancer care, regardless of who they are, where they live, or who they know. He believes a person's outcome should never be determined by geography, connections, or access to information. He believes that, for far too long, the fear associated with cancer has not improved. If anything, it has become worse. He believes the healthcare system has accepted that fear as part of the cancer journey, and in many ways, the system benefits from patients remaining overwhelmed, confused, and dependent rather than empowered with clear information and access to every available option. Instead, every patient should have the tools, guidance, and resources needed to make confident decisions about their care.

Driven by that vision, Bardia has made it his life's mission to challenge the status quo and remove the barriers that prevent patients from accessing the best possible care. Through Cancerify, he is helping build a platform that empowers patients by connecting them with leading physicians, top hospitals, clinical trials, and trusted resources. His goal is to replace the fear traditionally associated with cancer with confidence, clarity, positivity, and hope, ensuring that every patient and every family can navigate their journey with the support they deserve.
