In 2022, Dr. Jackie Sloop lost her father, Jim Bowlin, to pancreatic cancer. Jim was a beloved father and grandfather, known for his kindness, humor, and generosity (especially when it came to playing tooth fairy for his grandkids!). He was incredibly proud of Dr. Sloop and her journey into dentistry, and his legacy continues to shape the way we care for our patients and community.
To honor his memory, Sloop Dental Co. is once again participating in PanCAN PurpleStride Kansas City.
Walk With the Sloop Dental Co. Team
The PanCAN PurpleStride is a commitment to raise awareness, fund critical research, and support those impacted by pancreatic cancer. With Dr. Sloop as team captain, our team is committed to helping create a future where patients can not only fight pancreatic cancer, but survive and thrive.
Whether you’re walking in memory of a loved one, supporting someone currently battling the disease, or simply want to make a difference, we invite you to join us.
