She loves Dana-Farber because of the patients, their families and staff that are so committed to supporting them. She has the following message for listeners: “Now more than ever, cancer care is expensive and overwhelming. Dana-Farber is truly on the cutting edge and unique in caring for the whole patient – not just providing clinical care. Dana-Farber is committed to providing support in every aspect of life impacted by cancer and we can’t do this without the support of donors. It’s a privilege to be able to help patients in this way. We take patients’ needs seriously. We work to help them each and every day.”
