Monica reflected, From the moment I walked in, I knew Ascension St. Vincent Cancer Center was where I needed to be. The staff working the registration desk was friendly, patient, and helpful. My appointment with Dr. Stephens left me feeling reassured and confident about my chemotherapy treatment.
Sitting in an infusion room for many hours on a weekly basis for six months can be a dreadful and lonely experience, but at Ascension St. Vincent Cancer Center, I looked forward to my treatment each week because I had formed meaningful friendships with the staff, other patients and my Chemo Buddies. Ascension St. Vincent Cancer Center became part of my extended family, and the sense of community I felt while undergoing treatment left me feeling inspired and optimistic about my future.
Now, whenever I hear of somebody needing cancer treatment, I recommend Dr. Stephens and Ascension St. Vincent Cancer Center with glowing enthusiasm. Being diagnosed with cancer and going through treatment can be and is frightening, but it doesn’t have to be joyless. I knew I could always count on the wonderful team at Ascension St. Vincent Cancer Center. The Chemo Buddies provided a smile and their heartfelt support reminding me daily to celebrate the life I have yet to live.
Countless patient and family reflections around the compassionate care received can be found throughout our health ministry. Please consider a gift to the Cancer Care Fund, which will go to support Ascension patient experience as they receive infusion services, such as chemotherapy and other IV medications needed in the treatment of their illness. It is our goal to make our patients as comfortable as possible during the course of their treatment. Through your gift, designated to Cancer Care, we can enhance an atmosphere of healing and hope. You may choose to designate your gift to a specific program or service or support our ministry’s Greatest Needs located on the attached card.
When you give, you help impact the lives of patients, just like Monica, and forever affect families on their journey of healing with their loved ones. Together we can make a difference – but without you, it isn’t possible. Thank you for your consideration in support of our healing ministry.
