Chemotherapy, surgery, more chemotherapy, radiation — it was all overwhelming for Pam Hoadley. Your gift provided her with the guidance and support she needed after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

“I remember exactly where I was when I received that call,” Pam says. “I was stunned. Things moved rapidly from there. Still in shock, I wondered how I would ever navigate such a crisis.”

Your support of the oncology nurse navigator program was key to Pam’s recovery. From the moment Pam’s journey began, her nurse navigator stepped into the role of a steadfast advocate. She transformed an overwhelming situation into a manageable path forward.

“The journey through cancer is undeniably difficult,” Pam says. “It is made bearable by the unwavering support of friends, family and especially my care team. They have seen me at my highest points and my absolute lowest. They provided support and encouragement without a hint of judgment.”

As a donor, your support does more than fund research and provide medical equipment. Pam wants you to know how important your contribution is to her and other patients. You provide the programs and services that help patients focus entirely on healing. Without you, there are no support groups. There is no wellness program. There are no comfortable spaces to rest between appointments.

“While medicine saves lives, your donations fund the things that make those lives feel whole again,” she says. “You support the details that maintain a person’s dignity and spirit.”
