Dear Supporter,
This October, as we honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I am humbled by the powerful stories shared in our newsletter, stories that remind us why your support matters so deeply.
You’ll meet Isabel Guillen, a grateful patient who faced Stage III breast cancer at age 31. Thanks to the care and compassion she received at Adventist Health White Memorial’s Cecilia Gonzalez De La Hoya Cancer Center, Isabel not only survived but went on to create a foundation that uplifts other women battling cancer. Her journey from patient to philanthropist is a testament to resilience, hope, and the healing power of community.
· You’ll also read about TELAS de la Vida, a group of East Los Angeles volunteers sewing hundreds of pillows to bring comfort to patients with breast cancer.
· Learn about our Pharmacy Residency Program, shaping the next generation of compassionate healers.
· You’ll get to know Elizabeth Martinez and Lizette Carbajal in their new leadership roles as Adventist Health White Memorial Charitable Foundation’s board chair and vice chair.
· Exciting news: the Community Resource Center (CRC) is now officially part of Adventist Health White Memorial Charitable Foundation, expanding our reach beyond hospital walls.
· And a recap from our recent Healthcare Workforce Development Alumni Reunion, a powerful celebration of connection and legacy, bringing together alumni, mentors, and supporters.
Together, these stories paint a picture of a mission alive with love, purpose, and impact. But none of it would be possible without you!
Today, I invite you to give a gift to support our Cecilia Gonzalez De La Hoya Cancer Center. Your generosity provides life-saving treatments, comfort in the hardest moments, and the hope that patients like Isabel and her father once desperately needed.
Please join us in standing with every patient and family facing cancer. Together, we can ensure that no one walks this journey alone.
