Recently, Cancer Foundation trustees toured the recently opened Grotenhuis Pediatric Center and learned firsthand how our contributions are making a difference in the lives of the youngest cancer patients in our community. π
Trustees had the privilege of speaking with:
πΉ Miriam Parsa, MD, Cottage Children's Chief Pediatric Medical Officer
πΉ Shivani Upadhyay, MD, Director of Grotenhuis Pediatric Medical Clinics and practicing hematologist-oncologist
πΉ Richard Beswick, PhD, Vice President of Research and Chief Research Officer
πΉ Brenda Stanley, MBA, Director of Foundation and Corporate Relations
Since 2007, the Cancer Foundation has helped to fund a pediatric clinical research position at Cottage Health. This year, we awarded them $90K in support of this position.
Visits like this remind us why that investment matters.π
