The one hundred honoree: Center for Pediatric Hematology & Oncology Staff

by
Mass General Giving

Two families express their gratitude to the Mass General Pediatric Hematology/Oncology staff:

“Although our daughter Chloe lost her fight with leukemia, our 10 months with Dr. Howard Weinstein, Dr. Mary Huang and their team was an uplifting, positive journey. From day one, they filled us with hope. They did everything in their power to cure Chloe while making each day as normal as it could be. This wonderfully talented group remains constantly in our thoughts.”

“When our son Dan was diagnosed with leukemia, from the start we had confidence in the ‘Pedi-Hem/Onc’ team. Dr. Huang is Dan’s oncologist and we could not be happier. Nurse practitioner Patricia Kent calmed us when Dan received his first lumbar punctures and helped us through tough times. The nurses — including Suzanne, Karen and Kim — are spectacular. Others helped Danny, too. Heather introduced Dan to Boston sports celebrities. Elyse helped him cope with treatment and advised him on Make-A-Wish. Noreen and Melissa always greeted Dan with big smiles. The entire staff of Yawkey 8B does a great job in caring physically and emotionally for a sick child.”
