Connie is a breast cancer survivor who credits the care teams at Mission Hope Cancer Center and Marian Regional Medical Center for saving her life.

Connie shares, "Mission Hope Cancer Center and Marian Regional Medical Center are important to me because all people should have access to the dedicated medical care and the "TLC" provided by the expert staff. My experience began with meeting with my breast surgeon Dr. Monica Rocco. She laid out the roadmap for my journey clearly and concisely. The standard of care was beyond compare."

Connie's cancer journey is now complete thanks to the humankindness shown by her caregivers at Mission Hope Cancer Center and Marian Regional Medical Center.

When deciding to make a planned gift to the Marian Foundation in support of Marian Cancer Care at Mission Hope Cancer Center, Connie reflected on how her investment in community health care would be an opportunity to impact others' lives in a meaningful way.

"It's inspiring to be able to do this," concludes Connie. "This special gift allows me to be part of an important legacy - a family!"
