HCA Healthcare的动态

For over thirty years, HCA Healthcare colleague Robin Yoder has made a remarkable impact on the lives of countless cancer patients and their families. As an oncology social worker at Johnston-Willis Hospital, a part of HCA Virginia Health System, Robin has used her own cancer journey to fuel her passion for helping and inspiring others. As a teenager, Robin was diagnosed and treated for osteosarcoma. Years later, Robin was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma, which ultimately resulted in the amputation of her right leg above the knee. As a two-time cancer survivor, Robin’s unique perspective and tremendous courage has shaped a profound career supporting our cancer patients. To further her impact, Robin helped create The Hawthorne Cancer Foundation at Johnston-Willis Hospital, supporting cancer patients and caregivers throughout central Virginia. She facilitates several cancer support groups and hosts an Annual Cancer Survivorship Day event. In 2021, Robin received the HCA Healthcare Frist Humanitarian Award for her efforts and donated $2,500 of awarded funds to The Hawthorne Cancer Foundation. Annually, Robin leads and joins friends, HCA Healthcare physicians, patients and other participants in a fundraising walk. She is there every step of the way – all 51.7 miles. In its three years, the event has raised nearly $95,000 to help support patient needs like transportation and food. “For me it’s personal because when I was diagnosed in 2010, I never would have imagined I would walk 51.7 miles, let alone do it three times,” Robin shared. “What started from a small $2,500 award has now grown into a signature event that helps ease the burdens faced by local cancer patients.” Thank you, Robin, for inspiring us through your compassion and dedication to your patients and community. #PositiveImpact
