Breast cancer survivor Andrea Laliberte created an oncology support program at Ascension Riverside to help needy patients pay nonmedical bills.
"I was raised in a family of modest means but who still gave back," she said."I have always given back."
"The treatment I received at Ascension St. Vincent’s Riverside was amazing and I knew I wanted to give back as a way of saying thank you, but I didn’t know what I wanted to give to," she said. This year Laliberte, 62, donated another $400,000 that allowed the foundation to publicly launch the Oncology Support Services Program.
Laliberte didn't want her name on the door like some donors. But she wants other donors to be aware of the need and follow her lead.
