Beach Charity – Ambassadors Hear Cancer Survivor’s Story of Resilience and Gratitude
Beach charity
Ambassadors Hear Cancer Survivor’s Story of Resilience and Gratitude
Members of the Ambassador Program, an annual support group of Torrance Memorial, came together at Shade Hotel Manhattan Beach to learn how their donations were supporting the medical center’s lifesaving work. Oncology is one of four services supported through the Ambassadors. Dr. Hugo Hool introduced his patient, cancer survivor Mike Hebson and his wife, Nancy. They shared their journey from receiving their life-changing diagnosis through recovery and spoke of the nurse navigators, physicians, nurses and staff who offered exceptional guidance and support at each phase of care. For information on how to become an Ambassador, contact Judith Gassner at 310-517-4704 or visit www.TorranceMemorial.org/Ambassadors.
