Sylvester Cancer Resource Center Presentation
/Brief presentation of how Holding Hands supports Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center
We support community hospitals and cancer centers such as Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in Miami with donations of wigs and related items for patients undergoing cancer treatment at no cost.
Today at the Sylvester Cancer Center, we attended a meeting about improving HHF’s support programs, such as the Medical Lodging Program and additional assistance with grocery items.
It was inspiring to hear how Neha’s vision has made a profound impact on patients. Ms. Hillery, Tangela, Coordinator of Cancer Support Services, shared touching stories of patients who express their gratitude daily for Neha’s mission. It was a humbling moment for HHF to realize the significant difference individuals can make, both while they are here and even after they have moved on.
