Lab Manager and Researcher at the University of Pittsburgh Hillman Cancer Center // Alice's Arc US Inc. Board of Directors
🎗 A full day of advocacy in Washington DC! 🎗 Yesterday, I had the absolute pleasure of joining Gavin from The EVAN Foundation and Ashley Geiger in rounding the Treats and Treasures cart to kids and families on the oncology floor of Children's National Hospital, where I was treated from 2010-2012. Every Wednesday, The Evan Foundation brings toys and candy to each inpatient family and stocks an additional cart for the outpatient clinic. Seeing the positive impact the treat carts have on the kids, parents, and nursing staff was amazing! Gavin and I went from CNH to George Washington University where we spoke to C. Russell Y. Cruz 's graduate class about patient advocacy, patient perspective, and bridging the gap between research and the clinic. Thank you Russell for this amazing opportunity!
