This #ClinicalTrialsDay, we’re honored to share Mercedes’ story. After being diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, Mercedes hoped for the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial. “When I heard clinical trial, I got very excited,” she says. “I felt like this could be something that not only helps me, but helps so many others.” Mercedes speaks about trusting the science, trusting the doctors who deliver that science and how fortunate our community is to have Roswell Park close to home. For Mercedes, her family is her reason to keep going — and access to a clinical trial feels like carrying a “secret weapon.” Today, we celebrate the patients, researchers, physicians and families who make clinical trials possible and help move cancer care forward for everyone. 💙

Teams of Roswell Park volunteers participated in 5/14 Day of Service and Remembrance activities on Thursday, arranging flowers for the residents at HighPointe Healthcare facility, cleaning up the Kate Massey Pock Park, and making donations to local food pantries and community refrigerators. It’s our responsibility, as members of the City of Good Neighbors, to be a force for good in our community and to remember those lost on that terrible day.

Help us congratulate our CCA of the Month for May, Nancy! One of Nancy’s coworkers said, "Nancy is a true definition of a GREAT Senior CCA! She is full of knowledge with over 30 years of experience here at Roswell Park. Her wealth of knowledge is unbelievable, unmeasurable and undeniable. There has never been a time that she has not known the answer to a question. Every time I've asked her for assistance, she is willing to help."
