Organization,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E is many things — an accomplished surgeon, a celebrated researcher, a respected leader. But she will be the first to point out that her titles don’t define her; instead, her experiences craft her ever-evolving identity.\r\n\r\n“Creating a strong sense of identity was ingrained in me at a young age. I was raised to embrace my roots, but also to be adaptable to change,” says Dr. del Carmen. “It’s this idea that you hold on to the things that make you, you — the things that create stability in your life — while also embracing change in order to innovate and evolve.”\r\n\r\nDr. del Carmen appears to excel at harmonizing amid chaos. When speaking with her, she generates a unique sense of calm. You are more willing to open up and relax. The conversation feels effortless, and 30-minute meetings can quickly stretch to an hour. She’s generous, empathetic and you understand why her patients and colleagues adore her. But this comes as no surprise once you hear her story. Dr. del Carmen seems to have lived a dozen lives up to this point, and she credits these experiences with forming a sense of self that naturally marries her past with her present.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ENicaraguan Roots\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nDr. del Carmen’s life began in a diverse household. She was born in Nicaragua to her Nicaraguan mother and Lebanese father. “From an early age, I learned to lean on my upbringing, where there’s a duality of cultures, languages, experiences and even religions,” says Dr. del Carmen. “There was a very strong sense of family values, community service on my mom’s side, and, for my dad, a focus on working really hard, discipline and education.”\r\n\r\nShe was especially close to her maternal grandfather. She says that as a young child, watching him transition from a Johns Hopkins-trained urologist to the Nicaraguan Minister of Health was her first glimpse into how health care can be applied to make an impact on public health. “My grandfather was committed to serving others, and he showed how you can improve an entire country’s health outcomes by applying your experiences,” says Dr. del Carmen.\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E“Being a child of war taught me three things that I have carried with me ever since. The first is resiliency. Second, it also makes you focus on the things that are most important, like your immediate family. Finally, it taught me to be adaptable.\"\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nDr. del Carmen was also living through the Nicaraguan Revolution during these formidable years. “For two years, I recall fighting happening outside my door, right on the streets,” she says. “I remember my parents literally digging out the cabinet in our bathroom and creating a trench where we would try to keep safe during daily civilian bombings.”\r\n\r\nThe impact of witnessing that level of physical violence from the age of eight to ten years old is not lost on Dr. del Carmen. As both a clinician and someone who’s lived through trauma, she understands, firsthand, what war and disruption can do to a child. Fortunately, her family’s perseverance was stronger than the turmoil and violence they endured.\r\n\r\n“Being a child of war taught me three things that I have carried with me ever since,” says Dr. del Carmen. “The first is resiliency. Growing up, hearing about people you know dying, and you doing what you need to do to survive makes you very resilient. Second, it also makes you focus on the things that are most important, like your immediate family. I learned about the value of family, to lean on family and to find that anchor that creates stability. We relied on each other during that time, and it created connections with my siblings and parents that are everlasting. Finally, it taught me to be adaptable.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EThe Courage of Adaptability\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nDr. del Carmen attributes her learned adaptability to a specific moment during that time. It was when her family decided they must flee Nicaragua. It was a complicated journey — one that would require various means of transportation, permission from the government, access to passports and visas and, eventually, blindly boarding a plane where the pilot would tell you midair where you were landing. A successful end to that journey also wasn’t guaranteed.\r\n\r\nApproximately a day before they were to make the uncertain trek, Dr. del Carmen’s mom walked into her room. “She said, ‘We’re going to leave tomorrow because we’re going to try to leave the country. You need to pack a few things, like a set of pajamas and a few articles of clothing,’” says Dr. del Carmen. “I remember asking if I could bring my Barbies, because at only ten, Barbies were my whole world. She said, ‘No, we only can bring two suitcases for five of us and all of our belongings.’”\r\n\r\nDr. del Carmen recalls trying to process this statement as a child — trying to comprehend what that actually meant for her adult parents, who had to leave behind the life, home and safety net they built for their three children. “I didn’t truly understand until I became older, and I commend my parents for creating such a safe space and a new home for us in the United States, where we could live freely in a democracy,” says Dr. del Carmen. “I did learn, in that moment, that I had no choice but to be flexible. I had to adapt to a new life and to change for a greater goal.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cem\u003EThis story is the first of a three-part series, spotlighting Dr. Marcela del Carmen, newly appointed president of Mass General, president of Massachusetts General Physicians Organization and executive vice president of Mass General Brigham.

We help families assemble their healthcare teams, communicate with subspecialists in the hospital, work with healthcare providers in the community, including school nurses and physical therapists and follow patients through hospitalizations and outpatient appointments.”\r\n\r\n“It’s made a world of difference for our family to have Dr. Curran in the loop for every aspect of Maya’s care, reaching out to us regularly to make sure we have everything we need,” Kathryn says. “Before that, it felt like my husband and I were doing it all on our own, and it could get really overwhelming.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1073801\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"400\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1073801 size-medium\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fcourageous-kids-in-text.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" \u002F\u003E \u003Cspan class=\"ui-provider a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003EMaya and Drs.

For patients, they aim to offer increased integrative medicine services — things like acupuncture and reiki. “The research has shown that when pain is better managed and patients’ level of stress is decreased, that their quality and length of life are greatly improved,” says Dr. Curran. But, she explains, with these services not always covered by insurance, the Center needs the support of donors in order to offer them to patients.\r\n\r\n“There are also many services offered by the state for children with complex and life-limiting diagnoses, but it can be extraordinarily difficult for families to know what they qualify for and how to apply for them,” Dr. Curran says. That’s where a resource specialist comes in, to do the work of identifying and accessing resources for families, to coordinate with school nurses and guidance counselors to ensure a child’s needs are being met at school and to assist families facing financial, social or linguistic barriers to accessing support services.\r\n\r\nFor Maya and her family, services that connect them to other families going through similar experiences would be greatly impactful. Maya’s younger brother, Miles, is only one year old, and Kathryn expresses that connecting him with other siblings as he gets older could really help him feel understood. “Miles loves Maya so much and is her smallest but biggest advocate, but it can be really isolating,” she says. “He already understands that this is our normal — appointments that often require a full day of travel, therapists in and out of the house, and ICU stays — but I think for all of us, feeling like there are other families we can connect with that ‘get it’ would be so helpful.”\r\n\r\n“We serve a particularly vulnerable population,” Dr. Davidoff says. “Our services are invaluable to improving the lives of our patients and their families, and there’s no one else doing the work that the Center for Courageous Kids is doing to support them — we are the clinic for pediatric patients for whom there is no designated clinic.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo support the Center for Courageous Kids at Mass General for Children, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fdonate\u002Fcourageous-kids\"\u003Eclick here.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fem\u003E",post_title:"Courageous Kids: Providing Care for Children with Complex Diagnoses",post_excerpt:"For children with complex diagnoses and their caretakers, navigating a slew of medical specialties and complicated treatment processes can be overwhelming.

Intrigued, Dr. Quiroz brought the woman to Mass General, where testing revealed she carried two copies of another, rarer mutation, known as APOE3 Christchurch.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cfigure id=\"attachment_1076762\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1076762\" style=\"width: 220px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"\u003E\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1076762 size-full\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fquiroz-220x220-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E\u003Cfigcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1076762\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"\u003EYakeel Quiroz, PhD\u003C\u002Ffigcaption\u003E\u003C\u002Ffigure\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“Everything pointed to that being the reason why she was protected, but we couldn’t be sure,” says Dr. Quiroz, Paul B. and Sandra M.

The MAPP team has identified 27 members of the woman’s family who carry the same genetic predisposition to early-onset Alzheimer’s as well as a single copy of APOE3 Christchurch. That single copy of APOE3 Christchurch appears to have delayed the onset of symptoms by about five years — confirming the benefit seen in the original subject and suggesting it might be possible to mimic the same shielding effect through a drug.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“This extraordinary study illustrates how opening research to different cultures can advance our understanding of the

Dr. Brown sees three types of patients with heart failure: patients who have heart failure but can function in their daily lives; patients in what he calls “the Goldilocks zone,” who are declining but haven’t reached the point where other organs start failing; and patients who are too debilitated to tolerate a major transplant surgery.

That exposure has the potential to cause brain injuries, yet there is no diagnostic test to detect them. Without a test, SOF personnel may experience a variety of symptoms that can be misdiagnosed, and they can then be returned to operational duties when their brains are still recovering — and still vulnerable.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E\n\u003Cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003E“Those who defend our country and conduct the most dangerous missions to protect our way of life deserve the best medical care.

Called ReBlast, the two-year study surveyed 30 active-duty SOF personnel about their blast exposures and conducted cutting-edge imaging tests at Mass General’s \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.martinos.org\u002Fabout-the-center\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EAthinoula A.

When Dr. Perl’s research revealed scarring within the brains of SOF Operators, which he and Dr. Edlow believed to be a signature of blast injury, the two obtained the military’s support to move forward with the ReBlast study.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cfigure id=\"attachment_1076406\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1076406\" style=\"width: 268px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"\u003E\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1076406 size-medium\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLiving-Up-to-Their-Service_Photo-Caption_Headshot-268x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"268\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLiving-Up-to-Their-Service_Photo-Caption_Headshot-268x300.jpg 268w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLiving-Up-to-Their-Service_Photo-Caption_Headshot-916x1024.jpg 916w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLiving-Up-to-Their-Service_Photo-Caption_Headshot-768x858.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLiving-Up-to-Their-Service_Photo-Caption_Headshot-1374x1536.jpg 1374w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLiving-Up-to-Their-Service_Photo-Caption_Headshot-1833x2048.jpg 1833w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLiving-Up-to-Their-Service_Photo-Caption_Headshot-1568x1752.jpg 1568w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLiving-Up-to-Their-Service_Photo-Caption_Headshot.jpg 1863w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 268px) 100vw, 268px\" \u002F\u003E\u003Cfigcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1076406\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"\u003EBrian L.

Many joined the armed forces after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, with an average age of 37 and a mean service duration of 17 years. After serving two decades in the global war on terror, they were, as Dr. Edlow puts it, “the most frequently deployed, heavily combat-exposed Operators in the history of our country.”\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn addition to 12 hours of cognitive, psychological and physical assessments, these Operators underwent a comprehensive battery of brain imaging tests at the Martinos Center. Those tests included MRIs and PET scans on state-of-the-art equipment to study various neuroimaging biomarkers, such as brain network connectivity, inflammation and abnormal collections of tau protein. The study’s findings — that higher reported blast exposure was associated with structural, functional and neuroimmune brain alterations as well as lower health-related quality of life — showed an urgent individual and societal need for a reliable test to diagnose brain injuries associated with repeated blast exposure.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“Without a diagnostic test, these brave men and women have no idea what’s causing their symptoms. On top of the cognitive, psychological or physical symptoms, the lack of a diagnosis may contribute to despair, depression, and in the most tragic cases, even suicide,” Dr. Edlow says. “There’s a whole set of downstream consequences on the quality of life of these American heroes and their families.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cfigure id=\"attachment_1076403\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1076403\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"\u003E\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1076403\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLiving-Up-to-Their-Service_Photo-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLiving-Up-to-Their-Service_Photo-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLiving-Up-to-Their-Service_Photo-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLiving-Up-to-Their-Service_Photo-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLiving-Up-to-Their-Service_Photo-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLiving-Up-to-Their-Service_Photo-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLiving-Up-to-Their-Service_Photo-1-1480x1110.jpg 1480w, https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLiving-Up-to-Their-Service_Photo-1-1568x1176.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \u002F\u003E\u003Cfigcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1076403\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"\u003EScott Pelley from “60 Minutes” recently visited Mass General to interview Brian L.

Launched in 2022 with a transformational gift of $50 million from the Lunder Foundation, the Lunder Learning Initiative is aimed at reinventing healthcare education for the 21st century. The initiative enhances the training of healthcare professionals across roles and disciplines by supporting three coordinated education efforts: the Lunder Learning Hospital, the MGH Learning Endowment and the Peter L. Slavin, MD Academy for Applied Learning in Health Care, named in honor of Dr. Peter Slavin’s nearly two decades of leadership as hospital president. As the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School and the founder of the MGH Institute of Health Professions, education is a core pillar of the hospital’s four-part mission — patient care, research and discovery, teaching, and service to the community. The Lunder Learning Initiative is a renewal and expansion of this commitment to educating, supporting and mentoring current and future generations of local, national and international healthcare leaders.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“We support the patients of tomorrow by investing in research and education today,” says \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneralbrigham.org\u002Fen\u002Fabout\u002Fleadership-and-governance\u002Fdavid-brown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EDavid F.

Every Sunday, Scott and Quyen, his childhood sweetheart, who later became his wife, came to Viet’s house in Medford, Mass., and took Viet and his sister Chau out for breakfast sandwiches. Scott taught Viet how to ride a bike. He checked in on him at every family gathering. He became a role model for Viet, setting an example as a hardworking home builder, husband and father of three.\r\n\r\nSo, when Scott was diagnosed with Stage 4 gastrointestinal cancer in July 2022, and died of the illness at the age of 49 in March 2023, the loss rocked Viet and his family. But on April 15, they’re taking their next steps forward together — at the 128th Boston Marathon®.\r\n\r\nIn memory of Scott and to honor the care he received at Mass General Cancer Center’s \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Ftreatments-and-services\u002Fgastrointestinal-cancers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ETucker Gosnell Center for Gastrointestinal Cancers,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Viet, Chau and Quyen are all running to raise funds for \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fchildren\u002Fcancer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMass General for Children\u003C\u002Fa\u003E’s pediatric cancer research. The family hopes their efforts make it possible for children with cancer to have access to the same leading-edge treatments that Scott received.\r\n\r\n“It’s a really positive thing for all of us to run this race together, in the hardest year we’ve ever experienced as a family,” says Viet, who, at 27 years old, recently earned a master’s degree in mathematical finance from Boston University. He now works at Fidelity Investments in the firm’s Boston office. “This shows that we can push through grief and be positive and live life to the fullest. What I want is to make sure Scott’s memory lives on through us and his kids.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EFrom Refugee to Role Model\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nScott came from Vietnam to the U.S. in the early 1980s as a refugee. After settling in Philadelphia with his family, Scott came to Boston during high school to work for Viet’s dad at his residential construction company. Viet was born when Scott was in college at Northeastern University, and he has fond memories of Scott and Quyen living at his house before they moved into their own place.\r\n\r\n“He was a really great man,” Viet says. “He married the love of his life, they raised three beautiful children, and he went out and built his own hardwood flooring business over the course of 25 years. But Scott’s biggest motivation was to take care of all of us. It was inspiring for me, growing up and seeing someone prioritize the right things, like caring for his family and making an impact on the community.”\r\n\r\nWhen Scott was diagnosed, Viet says that his care team at \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMass General Cancer Center\u003C\u002Fa\u003E did everything they could do to treat his cancer. But, given the advanced nature and progression of Scott’s illness, their care eventually transitioned to focus on Scott’s quality of life for his terminal illness, and on comforting the family.\r\n\r\n“What stands out for me is the support the Mass General Cancer Center team gave to me and family, giving us that time to just be with Scott,” Viet says. “I’ll forever be grateful that we could spend his final few minutes with him. I’m sure they’ve been through that experience with other patients, but I’ll never forget their support.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1072354\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"350\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1072354\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FViet-group.jpg\" alt=\"L-R: Quyen (Scott's wife), Chau (Viet's sister), Jeff (Scott's brother), Scott and Viet, at his childhood home in Medford, Mass.\" width=\"350\" height=\"336\" \u002F\u003E Back L-R: Quyen (Scott's wife), Jeff (Scott's brother) and Scott; Front L-R: Chau (Viet's sister) and Viet, at their childhood home in Medford, Mass.[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EHonoring a Legacy\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nViet was captain of the track and field team in high school, running the 1600- and 3200-meter races, so completing his hometown marathon had been a dream for a while. When Viet ran the New York Marathon in November 2023, Quyen, who works for Mass General Brigham, sent him information about the hospital’s \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fevents\u002Fmass-general-marathon-team\u002F\"\u003EBoston Marathon team.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E He signed up right away.\r\n\r\n“The care that Scott received at Mass General Cancer Center was second to none, so I knew we’d be supporting a wonderful cause,” Viet says. “This is the best hospital for people looking to get any kind of treatment, and I hope the money we raise helps outcomes for kids with pediatric cancer.”\r\n\r\nThe marathon will be a little more than a year after Scott’s death. Viet remembers one of Scott’s dying wishes was for the Tran-Nguyen family to stick together and look out for each other, so running alongside Chau and Quyen from Hopkinton to Boylston Street seems like a natural way to fulfill that wish.\r\n\r\n“I’m looking forward to that sense of euphoria that comes with running and seeing the crowds,” Viet says. “We’re doing something that’s very difficult, but having family, friends and the people in my life supporting me, my sister and Quyen is going to be an amazing experience.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003EIf you would like to support Viet, please visit his \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.givengain.com\u002Fproject\u002Fviet-raising-funds-for-massachusetts-general-hospital-66710\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003Efundraising page.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fem\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about Mass General’s marathon team, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fevents\u002Fmass-general-marathon-team\u002F\"\u003Eclick here.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fem\u003E",post_title:"Running in the Family",post_excerpt:"In memory of his cousin Scott, Viet Tran is running the Boston Marathon® with his sister and Scott’s wife to raise funds for pediatric cancer research at Mass General for Children.",post_status:l,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:"running-in-the-family",to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:"2024-03-27 13:03:07",post_modified_gmt:"2024-03-27 17:03:07",post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:c,guid:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1072270",menu_order:c,post_type:az,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:h,filter:d,acf:{hide_donate_button:b,hide_primary_navigation:b,hide_footer_donate_now:b,hide_from_search:b,enable_override:b,expire_url_redirect:a,GlobalComponentsEditor:b,story_type:{term_id:ba,name:ey,slug:ez,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:ba,taxonomy:Q,description:a,parent:c,count:bn,filter:d},where_to_give:[{term_id:cq,name:dh,slug:di,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:cq,taxonomy:C,description:fW,parent:c,count:fX,filter:d},{term_id:g_,name:vl,slug:vm,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:g_,taxonomy:C,description:vn,parent:c,count:mP,filter:d}],how_to_give:b,template:aA,cta_selector:[{ID:1071178,post_author:aH,post_date:"2024-02-06 14:05:39",post_date_gmt:"2024-02-06 19:05:39",post_content:a,post_title:vo,post_excerpt:a,post_status:l,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:"how-to-give-cta-copy-copy",to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:"2024-02-06 14:19:19",post_modified_gmt:"2024-02-06 19:19:19",post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:c,guid:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?post_type=cta&p=1071178",menu_order:c,post_type:kg,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:h,filter:d}],hero_style:br,key_takeaways:b,story_sidebar_logo:b,cta_sidebar:b,page_selector:a},image:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fviet-banner.jpg",link:"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fstories\u002Frunning-in-the-family\u002F",category:[{term_id:a$,name:gK,slug:gL,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:a$,taxonomy:aD,description:a,parent:c,count:fw,filter:d,acf:b}],where_to_give:[{term_id:cq,name:dh,slug:di,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:cq,taxonomy:C,description:fW,parent:c,count:fX,filter:d,acf:{related_tag_page:{ID:jy,post_author:ab,post_date:jz,post_date_gmt:jA,post_content:a,post_title:dh,post_excerpt:a,post_status:l,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:di,to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:jB,post_modified_gmt:jC,post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:T,guid:jD,menu_order:jE,post_type:i,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:h,filter:d},related_donate_page:b,related_contact_page:b,related_tag_link_type:i,related_donate_link_type:aV,related_contact_link_type:i,related_donate_link:{title:jF,url:jG,target:a}}},{term_id:g_,name:vl,slug:vm,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:g_,taxonomy:C,description:vn,parent:c,count:mP,filter:d,acf:{related_tag_link_type:i,related_tag_page:{ID:1058282,post_author:ab,post_date:"2021-06-16 13:33:00",post_date_gmt:"2021-06-16 17:33:00",post_content:"\u003Cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW36952027 BCX0\"\u003EMass General excels in connecting clinical care with research, which makes it the ideal place to bring new discoveries and treatments from the lab bench to the bedside.

After a series of abnormal blood tests and scans, she was called in to the hospital for a meeting with her future oncology team. “The first person who walked into the room was Dr. David Ryan, and he calmly said, ‘You have stage three pancreatic cancer, and we have a clinical trial we’d like to enroll you in,’” Linda recalls. “I’m not sure I heard much after that.”\r\n\r\nBeing from the greater Boston area, Linda knew she would receive high-quality, compassionate care at Mass General. She went home and asked friends and family about the reputations of her cancer care team: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F17127\u002Fdavid-ryan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EDavid Ryan, MD,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Chief of Hematology and Oncology and Clinical Director of Mass General Cancer Center, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F17595\u002Fted-hong\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ETed Hong, MD\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, Director of Gastrointestinal Radiation and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F16840\u002Fcarlos-fernandez-del-castillo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ECarlos Fernandez-del Castillo, MD,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Director of the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fsurgery\u002Fgastrointestinal-and-oncologic-surgery\u002Ftreatments-and-services\u002Fpancreas-and-biliary-surgery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EPancreas and Biliary Surgery Program\u003C\u002Fa\u003E. Hearing nothing but praise, she agreed to proceed with the suggested course of action.

She now only returns to the hospital for check-ins every three months. Linda credits the work of Drs. Ryan, Hong, and Fernandez-del Castillo with her incredible recovery.\r\n\r\nAfter being successfully treated, Linda and her husband wanted to find a way to thank her care team, and to help provide other patients with the positive treatment experience she’d had. Now cancer-free, she is funding the very same clinical trial that treated her cancer, allowing her doctors to continue the analysis of the results of the trial for an additional three years.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ESupport from All Areas\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nLinda’s treatment at Mass General involved providers from across the hospital — oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, nurses, physical therapists, dietitians and acupuncturists. “It was so wonderful to have all of these amazing services right there where I was receiving treatment. All of the folks that helped care for me were unfailingly kind and thoughtful,” she says.\r\n\r\n“It’s difficult to express this adequately, but I am so incredibly grateful for the high-quality and consistently excellent care I received at Mass General,” she adds. “Every single person I interacted with, even those just stepping in for a moment to help, were thoughtful, attentive, professional and exceptionally good at what they do. They always made me feel taken care of in ways that I know helped me to focus on getting through the difficult times.” Linda is especially grateful to her infusion nurse, Kristin Copenheaver-Smith, RN, who was an integral member of her care team from chemotherapy all the way to immunotherapy infusions, and Melissa Woolwine, NP, of the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Ftreatments-and-services\u002Fgastrointestinal-cancers\u002Fteam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EGastrointestinal Cancers Treatment Team\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, who met with Linda throughout treatment to provide information and support.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA Chance to Say Thank You\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nBefore being diagnosed with cancer, Linda began her journey as a Mass General donor giving annually to the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fwhere-to-give\u002Fthe-mgh-fund\u002F\"\u003EMGH Fund,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E and as a member of the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fwhere-to-give\u002Fthe-mgh-fund\u002Fthe-1811-society\u002F\"\u003E1811 Society.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E After receiving compassionate, personalized care from her team of nurses while in treatment, Linda made a gift to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Feveryday-amazing\u002Fcaring-for-a-cure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ECaring For A Cure,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E a nurse-led program at Mass General that aims to improve the journey of patients and families being treated for cancer through research, resources and awareness.

They decided to make a gift, and thanks to the Shermans, the trial and related research are now fully funded for another three years.\r\n\r\n“It would have been such a shame for the trial to end due to lack of funding — the research we’re doing in this area is extremely promising,” says Dr. Hong.\r\n\r\n“We’re just nothing but grateful,” says Linda, her voice full of emotion. “And I hope my story of a positive outcome with the support of Mass General will give hope to others facing a terrible diagnosis.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about how you can support pancreatic cancer research at Mass General, please \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fcontact\u002F?route_to=Jordyn+Rappaport&about=Pancreatic Cancer Research\"\u003Econtact us\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E",post_title:"Pancreatic Cancer Survivor Funds Clinical Trial For Future Patients",post_excerpt:"Linda Sherman was successfully treated for stage three pancreatic cancer at Mass General Cancer Center.

Jenessa recalls the impact of being able to attend lectures at Mass General and Harvard Medical School and to learn of the many different paths she could take to pursue a career in researching health disparities. “I’m interested in understanding the mechanics behind why certain diseases disproportionately affect minority groups, in understanding what’s happening in the body,” she says.\r\n\r\nJenessa explains the impact of listening to researchers of diverse backgrounds discussing their work, and especially other Black female scientists. “I really believe that if you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room,” Jenessa says. “So, while I wasn’t able to understand everything speakers discussed, it was amazing exposure to all of the possibilities in front of me.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA Vision for the Future\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nThrough her internship, Sarisha found herself drawn to the role of practicing clinician, something she hadn’t previously thought she wanted to do.\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E\"Watching Dr. Moura, a fellow woman of color, interact with patients of different backgrounds, dealing with different diagnoses, and treating them all with so much respect and compassion was beyond inspiring, and confirmed for me that this is what I want to do.”\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nSarisha says shadowing Dr. Moura at her clinic was the moment she knew she wanted to pursue a career as a clinician. “I didn’t expect to have an ‘aha moment,” Sarisha explains, “but watching Dr. Moura, a fellow woman of color, interact with patients of different backgrounds, dealing with different diagnoses, and treating them all with so much respect and compassion was beyond inspiring, and confirmed for me that this is what I want to do.”\r\n\r\nSarisha recalls a particularly impactful moment when Dr. Moura had to deliver the news of an epilepsy diagnosis to a young patient, whose mother began to cry — not because of the news of her child’s diagnosis, she said, but because she was overwhelmed by Dr. Moura’s kindness.\r\n\r\nFor Aya, Jenessa and Sarisha, participating in Mass General’s Youth Neurology Education and Research Program made a deep impact on their paths forward — helping confirm their passions while strengthening their skills and building their networks for success.\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about how you can support the Youth Neurology Education and Research Program, please \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fcontact\u002F?route_to=Tara+Brady&about=Youth Neurology Education and Research Program\"\u003Econtact us\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E",post_title:"Youth Neurology Program Inspires Students to Pursue Their Passions",post_excerpt:"Students in Mass General’s Youth Neurology Education and Research Program learn and work alongside esteemed clinicians, researchers and peer mentors, giving them the chance to explore future career options in neurology.",post_status:l,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:"youth-neurology-program-inspires-students-to-pursue-their-passions",to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:"2024-03-29 12:32:33",post_modified_gmt:"2024-03-29 16:32:33",post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:c,guid:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1072238",menu_order:c,post_type:az,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:h,filter:d,acf:{hide_from_search:b,hide_donate_button:b,hide_primary_navigation:b,hide_footer_donate_now:b,enable_override:b,template:aA,expire_url_redirect:a,cta_selector:a,hero_style:br,key_takeaways:b,story_sidebar_logo:b,cta_sidebar:b,page_selector:[{ID:1064261,post_author:nX,post_date:"2022-11-02 21:50:44",post_date_gmt:"2022-11-03 01:50:44",post_content:"Since it \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fstories\u002Fopening-new-doors-to-neurology-careers\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003Elaunched\u003C\u002Fa\u003E in 2020, the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fneurology\u002Feducation-and-training\u002Fyouth-research-and-education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EYouth Neurology Education and Research Program\u003C\u002Fa\u003E at \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMassachusetts General Hospital\u003C\u002Fa\u003E focuses on increasing diversity in the neurology workforce, making the field more representative of people living with neurological disease.

This program is made possible by a charitable partnership with the Biogen Foundation, primary funder for the past three years, whose support has led to additional funding in the program’s third year from Massachusetts Life Sciences Center.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1041688\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1041688\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn3.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FNicte-Mejia-headshot_cropped_220_220.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Nicte Mejia, MD, MPH, FAAN[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\nThe program offers high school and undergraduate students the opportunity to spend a summer working and learning alongside neuroscientists at Mass General. These students have the chance to conduct impactful, real-world research, shadow clinical faculty in their areas of interest, hone their leadership skills, become part of a diverse professional network, and engage in longitudinal career support. Formal salaried employment reduces the financial barriers often precluding participation in a competitive internship. All interns have access to longitudinal professional development support, including help as they apply to college, graduate school, or jobs. Program staff often serve as a resource for students using LinkedIn, writing cover letters, polishing personal statements, and determining how to tactfully consider job or educational opportunities. There is also funding available to help cover career related expenses, such as standardized exams like the medical college admission test (MCAT). Beginning in 2022, all interns received food and travel stipends recognizing the added cost of in-person participation in this program.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EEvolving to Eliminate Barriers\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nProgram director \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F18517\u002Fnicte-mejia-gonzalez\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ENicte Mejia, MD, MPH, FAAN,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E and coordinators work directly with students to proactively identify their goals, needs and concerns, and continually tailor program offerings based on what they learn.\r\n\r\nAs she prepared for 2022 as the program’s first in-person year, Sarah Micucci, former program coordinator who is now a medical student, noted that many internship applicants were expressing concerns about not having workplace-appropriate attire. With this feedback, Sarah reached out to second-hand clothing stores in the community, ultimately partnering with Thrifty Threads in Brookline, to gather clothes donations appropriate for the incoming group of summer interns.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1064270\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"350\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1064270\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn3.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fclothes-donation.jpg\" alt=\"A room filled with clothes donations for program participants seeking workplace-appropriate attire.\" width=\"350\" height=\"174\" \u002F\u003E A room filled with clothes donations for program participants seeking workplace-appropriate attire.[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\n“This program helped remove the indirect cost of trying to learn — it allowed me to stop thinking about outside worries and just focus on going to work and making a positive impact,” says Adam Khanboubi, an undergraduate participant in the program. With a goal to become a neurospine specialist, Adam also hopes to one day launch a foundation of his own that works to address racial disparities in neurological research.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EThe Importance of Representation\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nThe values and goals of the program also extend to the program staff themselves, largely comprised of future health professionals of backgrounds underrepresented in neurology, sharing similar identities with the program participants they work with. The 88 interns who participated in this program in 2020-2022 predominantly identify as female or non-binary (73%), Black, Latinx, or Indigenous (83%), immigrant (34%), and first-generation students (83%), representing communities disproportionately affected by neurologic disease and largely underrepresented in the neurology workforce. Program staff understand where they’re coming from and the obstacles they face and serve as a safe space for students to express themselves without fear of judgement.\r\n\r\nJanani Ganesh, high school program participant, explains, “I live in a community where everyone has a parent in medicine, but mine aren’t familiar with health care. So, to find community, and other people who understood my experience and what it was like to be the first person in their family to pursue medicine, was really impactful.” Janani hopes to become a neurosurgeon and work for the United Nations providing care to people in war-torn countries.

She plans to attend Union College in New York on a full scholarship in the fall of 2021. “I find that inspiring and I like that I get to prove myself,” Adrianna says. “I feel really grateful that I had this internship.

Isselbacher, MD, MSC[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA Lifetime of Adventure\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nLane first began experiencing irregular heartbeats in 2003 while training for a triathlon. At one point, he had rapid heartbeats that reached a frightening 300 beats per minute. Doctors performed an ablation, which burns or freezes sections inside the heart to create small scars that break up electrical signals that cause irregular heartbeats. The ablation was unsuccessful, so Lane received a pacemaker and defibrillator, along with an official diagnosis of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia — irregular heartbeats without a real explanation — and he kept competing in half marathons and triathlons. The defibrillator malfunctioned a few years later, so he had it removed and underwent another ablation. This time, the procedure was successful.\r\n\r\nFast forward to late 2022, and Lane began experiencing strange cardiac sensations again while running. He wore a monitor to record his heart’s rhythm and had an echocardiogram, which revealed a sizable aortic aneurysm. His cardiologist in Newburyport referred Lane to Dr. Isselbacher, who told him that he needed surgery.\r\n\r\n“I told him that I was already planning the trip to Aconcagua and that I still wanted to go,” Lane says. “He told me that I was in good shape, and I could recover from this well. So, we counted backward from when I was planning to be in South America, and that’s when we scheduled the surgery.”\r\n\r\n“Lane leads an active life, and he wanted to continue to lead an active life. We wanted to make that possible for him,” says Dr. Isselbacher. “A huge part of our ‘whole patient approach’ is about meeting patients where they are.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1072224\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1072224\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FSundtHS.jpg\" alt=\"Thor Sundt, MD\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Thor Sundt, MD[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ECrawl, Walk, Run\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nDr. Sundt successfully performed open-heart surgery in October 2022 to replace Lane’s bulging ascending aorta with a synthetic graft. Dr. Sundt told Lane he would likely be back to 80% of his fitness six weeks after surgery, 90% by six months and then, back to his normal physical abilities a year post-operation. With the approval of his care team, Lane was walking three to five miles a day two weeks after the surgery and ran a 5K at the six-week mark — his eyes trained on Aconcagua.\r\n\r\n“I was so grateful that Mass General had people on staff willing to talk to a crazy adventure athlete who wanted to push his recovery,” Lane says. “They consulted with me, looked at my baseline fitness and age profile and told me how much I could do.”\r\n\r\n“For me, cardiac surgery is about more than saving lives,” Dr. Sundt says. “It’s about returning patients to the lives they love.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA New Kind of Summit\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nWhen December 2023 arrived, and Lane was about to climb Aconcagua, he felt more anxious than he had in the past. “I’ve been on lots of mountains, but I’ve never been up one after open-heart surgery, and I’ve never been up one as high as Aconcagua,” he says. “The oxygen level is only about one-third of what it is at sea level. I didn’t know how my body would perform, even without the open-heart surgery.”\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E“From beginning to end, from the time I was referred there through post-operative care, every nurse, physician and staff member I encountered was friendly, understanding, responsive and skillful.\"\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nBut his body did perform. Lane’s recovery and training had gone so well that the surgery didn’t cross his mind. His labored breathing was due to the high altitude, just like everyone else’s. And even though high winds and freezing temperatures stopped Lane and the other climbers right below the summit, he still considered the trip a success.\r\n\r\n“I know that attitude can’t overcome degenerative physical illness, but it can absolutely aid in recovery,” says Lane. “I’ve been a lifelong optimist, and I think that helped me build confidence for a swift recovery. A positive attitude coupled with skilled care, which Mass General certainly provides, means a lot when it comes to putting one foot in front of the other.”\r\n\r\nLane and his brothers are debating a return to Aconcagua to reach the summit, or possibly heading to Denali in Alaska. Wherever his next adventure takes him, he’s grateful to Mass General’s Heart Center team for putting him back on the road less traveled.\r\n\r\n“From beginning to end, from the time I was referred there through post-operative care, every nurse, physician and staff member I encountered was friendly, understanding, responsive and skillful,” Lane says. “It’s been the best experience I could have had for something as intimidating and frightening as heart surgery.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about making a gift to the Corrigan Minehan Heart Center, please \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fcontact\u002F?route_to=Christina+Ferraiola&about=Heart Center\"\u003Econtact us\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E",post_title:"The Heart of an Athlete",post_excerpt:"Roughly a year after his surgery at Mass General for an aortic aneurysm, Lane Glenn still achieved the adventure of a lifetime: climbing Argentina’s Mount Aconcagua.",post_status:l,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:"the-heart-of-an-athlete",to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:"2024-06-12 09:17:49",post_modified_gmt:"2024-06-12 13:17:49",post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:c,guid:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1072209",menu_order:c,post_type:az,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:h,filter:d,acf:{hide_donate_button:b,hide_primary_navigation:b,hide_footer_donate_now:b,hide_from_search:b,enable_override:b,expire_url_redirect:a,GlobalComponentsEditor:b,story_type:{term_id:dR,name:ig,slug:ih,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:dR,taxonomy:Q,description:a,parent:c,count:cO,filter:d},where_to_give:[{term_id:aB,name:aL,slug:cL,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:aB,taxonomy:C,description:cM,parent:c,count:cN,filter:d}],how_to_give:b,template:aA,cta_selector:a,hero_style:br,key_takeaways:b,story_sidebar_logo:b,cta_sidebar:b,page_selector:a,swiftype_keywords:a,custom_swiftype_boost:a},image:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLane-hiking.jpg",link:"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fstories\u002Fthe-heart-of-an-athlete\u002F",category:[{term_id:a$,name:gK,slug:gL,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:a$,taxonomy:aD,description:a,parent:c,count:fw,filter:d,acf:b}],where_to_give:[{term_id:aB,name:aL,slug:cL,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:aB,taxonomy:C,description:cM,parent:c,count:cN,filter:d,acf:{related_tag_link_type:i,related_tag_page:{ID:fp,post_author:ab,post_date:gf,post_date_gmt:gg,post_content:a,post_title:aL,post_excerpt:a,post_status:l,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:fq,to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:gh,post_modified_gmt:gi,post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:T,guid:gj,menu_order:gk,post_type:i,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:h,filter:d},related_donate_link_type:aV,related_donate_page:b,related_contact_link_type:i,related_contact_page:b,related_donate_link:{title:hh,url:fr,target:a}}}],story_type:[{term_id:dR,name:ig,slug:ih,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:dR,taxonomy:Q,description:a,parent:c,count:cO,filter:d,acf:b}],pp_notify_user:[{term_id:mS,name:mT,slug:mT,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:mS,taxonomy:aZ,description:a,parent:c,count:vX,filter:d,acf:b},{term_id:dc,name:ht,slug:hb,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:dc,taxonomy:aZ,description:a,parent:c,count:hu,filter:d,acf:b}],author:[{term_id:dQ,name:ek,slug:hm,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:dQ,taxonomy:as,description:a,parent:c,count:g_,filter:d,acf:b}]}}},campaign:{takeover_hero:f,expiration_start_date:"November 12, 2024 5:00 am",expiration_date:"December 3, 2024 11:59 pm",hero_campaign:{headline:"Giving Tuesday is December 3",description:"Don't wait!

Their goal was to drive ALS research toward clinical trials that would increase the spectrum of therapeutic options for patients.\r\n\r\nUntil relatively recently, translation of advances in the understanding of ALS pathophysiology was hindered by a lack of infrastructure and coordination necessary to support clinical trials. Additionally, disease heterogeneity within the patient population often precluded the identification of appropriate outcomes for trials of a given therapy.\r\n\r\nAddressing these limitations in the discovery process requires the flexibility and funding to rapidly adapt the drugs being tested to patient responses. In 2018, the launch of the Sean M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS offered an opportunity to initiate the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fneurology\u002Fals\u002Fresearch\u002Fplatform-trial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EPlatform Trial for ALS.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Platform trials utilize a master protocol to simultaneously evaluate multiple treatments, including combinations of treatments, and perform comparisons of competing treatments across a patient cohort.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1066401\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1066401 size-full\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn3.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FMeritTN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Merit E.

Although over 80 companies have applied to be part of the Healey ALS Platform Trial for ALS, Dr. Cudkowicz describes the search for new drugs as an ongoing process of outreach and evaluation.\r\n\r\n\"Although not all of the companies have drugs prepared for a Phase 2 trial, the opportunity to identify solid science at an early stage is invaluable.\"\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ETransforming Ideas Into Innovations\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nApproximately 10% of ALS-affected patients present a family history of the disease (fALS), with the remaining patients classified as having sporadic ALS (sALS).

She was 23 years old, working with children with autism and on the verge of starting graduate school. But, if her breast cancer diagnosis was a surprise, what came next was a shock wave — and one that her team deftly managed thanks to the coordination between cancer treatment and genetics at the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Fabout\u002Fcommunity-locations\u002Fwaltham\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ECancer Early Detection and Diagnostics Clinic\u003C\u002Fa\u003E at \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Fabout\u002Fcommunity-locations\u002Fwaltham\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMass General Cancer Center's Waltham location\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\r\n\r\n“When my biopsy came back as cancer, the Mass General team was like, ‘We’ll see you tomorrow,’” says Elizabeth. “They told me I was way too young for this to happen, and they knew something else was going on.”\r\n\r\nAs part of the program’s multidisciplinary approach, Elizabeth underwent genetic testing that revealed a rare mutation — affecting about one in 200,000 people — in her PTEN gene. That gene provides instructions for making an enzyme that is found in almost all tissues in the body. The enzyme acts as a tumor suppressor, which means that it helps regulate cell division by keeping cells from growing and dividing too rapidly or in an uncontrolled way. Elizabeth’s mutation meant that she was at risk for more than the breast cancer already in her body. She was also at risk for endometrial, colon and thyroid cancer.\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F17464\u002Fbeverly-moy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EBeverly Moy, MD, MPH\u003C\u002Fa\u003E and the team at Mass General considered this knowledge to be power over Elizabeth’s potential illnesses. They had what they needed to come up with a plan.\r\n\r\n“Dr. Moy said to me on my first visit, ‘You and I are going to grow old together,’” Elizabeth says. “She’s been with me through it all. In that first appointment, you’re so overwhelmed, so to have someone like that at your side is awesome.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1066662\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"350\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1066662 size-full\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn3.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FElizabeth-Murphy-inline.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"410\" \u002F\u003E Elizabeth underwent 17 rounds of chemotherapy and 25 rounds of radiation to treat her breast cancer.

In Elizabeth’s case, the specific genetic makeup of her mutation had never been recorded before, so her genetic counselor took extra time to run the results and explain them to Elizabeth.\r\n\r\n“What I appreciate most about this model is our expedited access to top experts in cancer evaluation and high-risk genetics,” Dr. Moy says. “It provides the best quality care for patients like Elizabeth, since she has a coordinated approach in managing her complex cancer screening and detection needs.”\r\n\r\nElizabeth underwent 17 rounds of chemotherapy and 25 rounds of radiation to treat her breast cancer. She also had surgery to perform a double mastectomy with reconstruction and remove 24 lymph nodes.\r\n\r\n“Since my cancer was already spreading to my lymph nodes, the fact that the team jumped on it so quickly saved my life,” Elizabeth says. She was diagnosed on April 27, 2021, and her first chemotherapy infusion was a few days later on May 4.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1066666\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1066666\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn3.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FMoyWaltham.jpg\" alt=\"Beverly Moy, MD, MPH\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Beverly Moy, MD, MPH[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\n“When I met with Dr. Moy, she said, ‘I’m throwing everything at you. You’re way too young to have to deal with this long term. I’m looking to cure you,’” Elizabeth continues. “I really appreciated her because she told everything to me straight. She told me it was going to be a very intense regimen of chemo, but it was going to stop the cancer from progressing and metastasizing. It was a huge game changer that made the difference between whether we were going to cure this or whether I was going to be dealing with it for the rest of my life.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003E“Their priority is to take care of \u003Cem\u003Eyou\u003C\u002Fem\u003E.”\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nTo manage her risk of developing other cancers, Elizabeth has an endometrial biopsy once a year, a thyroid scan once a year and a colonoscopy every three years. She finished her active treatments for breast cancer in April 2022 and is on an oral medication to lessen her chances of a recurrence. Elizabeth also picked up her graduate school dream again: she is about to graduate from Boston College with a master’s degree in social work, only a summer behind her planned timeline.\r\n\r\nAt 23, Elizabeth often felt isolated when it came to her cancer experience — there weren’t many other young adults going through what she was. To share her experience, she participated in Mass General’s cancer mentorship program and connected with a 32-year-old who lives with the same genetic mutation. Elizabeth also hopes to volunteer with pediatric cancer patients once she finishes school.\r\n\r\n“I want others to know that they’re not alone in this,” Elizabeth says. “Finding a patient community is huge. I tell people to ask every single question that comes into your brain, because you’re not the first person to ask this question — the doctors here have heard it all. And, at the end of the day, their priority is to take care of you.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about how to support the Cancer Early Detection and Diagnostics Clinic, please \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fcontact\u002F?route_to=Megan+Daniels&about=Cancer Evaluation and Management Program\"\u003Econtact us\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E",post_title:"A Surprise, a Shock and a Team to Handle it all",post_excerpt:"At the Cancer Early Detection and Diagnostics Clinic at the Mass General Cancer Center in Waltham, patients like Elizabeth Murphy find novel, coordinated approaches to manage complex cancer screening and detection needs.",post_status:l,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:"a-surprise-a-shock-and-a-team-to-handle-it-all",to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:"2023-06-08 15:03:34",post_modified_gmt:"2023-06-08 19:03:34",post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:c,guid:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1066461",menu_order:c,post_type:az,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:h,filter:d,acf:{enable_override:b,expire_url_redirect:a,GlobalComponentsEditor:b,story_type:{term_id:dR,name:ig,slug:ih,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:dR,taxonomy:Q,description:a,parent:c,count:cO,filter:d},where_to_give:[{term_id:cq,name:dh,slug:di,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:cq,taxonomy:C,description:fW,parent:c,count:fX,filter:d}],how_to_give:b,template:aA,cta_selector:a,hero_style:br,key_takeaways:b,story_sidebar_logo:b,page_selector:a},image:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FMurphy-banner.jpg",link:"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fstories\u002Fa-surprise-a-shock-and-a-team-to-handle-it-all\u002F",category:[{term_id:a$,name:gK,slug:gL,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:a$,taxonomy:aD,description:a,parent:c,count:fw,filter:d,acf:b}],where_to_give:[{term_id:cq,name:dh,slug:di,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:cq,taxonomy:C,description:fW,parent:c,count:fX,filter:d,acf:{related_tag_page:{ID:jy,post_author:ab,post_date:jz,post_date_gmt:jA,post_content:a,post_title:dh,post_excerpt:a,post_status:l,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:di,to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:jB,post_modified_gmt:jC,post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:T,guid:jD,menu_order:jE,post_type:i,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:h,filter:d},related_donate_page:b,related_contact_page:b,related_tag_link_type:i,related_donate_link_type:aV,related_contact_link_type:i,related_donate_link:{title:jF,url:jG,target:a}}}],story_type:[{term_id:dR,name:ig,slug:ih,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:dR,taxonomy:Q,description:a,parent:c,count:cO,filter:d,acf:b}],pp_notify_user:[{term_id:mS,name:mT,slug:mT,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:mS,taxonomy:aZ,description:a,parent:c,count:vX,filter:d,acf:b},{term_id:dc,name:ht,slug:hb,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:dc,taxonomy:aZ,description:a,parent:c,count:hu,filter:d,acf:b}],author:[{term_id:dQ,name:ek,slug:hm,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:dQ,taxonomy:as,description:a,parent:c,count:g_,filter:d,acf:b}]},category:{value:"compassion",label:"Compassionate Care"}},{story:{ID:1067544,post_author:ab,post_date:"2023-06-22 08:08:56",post_date_gmt:"2023-06-22 12:08:56",post_content:"“Nurses have a unique window into a patient’s experience of care,” says \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fresearchers.mgh.harvard.edu\u002Fprofile\u002F379478\u002FDiane-Carroll\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EDiane Carroll, RN, PhD, FAAN, FAHA,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Nurse Researcher in the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mghpcs.org\u002Fmunncenter\u002Findex.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EYvonne L.

Over the years, nurses have studied ways they can deliver family-centered care for cardiac patients; defined the trajectory for recovery from cardiac surgery to reflect an individual’s goals; and explored non-pharmacological nursing interventions to reduce stress in cardiac patients.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EThe Positive Power of Music\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nDr. Carroll’s own most recent study is measuring the effects of music on cardiac surgery patients.\r\n\r\n“Cardiac surgery inpatients are susceptible to numerous stressful factors, including fear, pain, sleeplessness, communication problems and the inability to relax in such an alien environment,” Dr. Carroll says. “Current practice to alleviate these stressful factors involves the administration of sedatives and pain medications that are thought to increase hospital length of stay. While previous studies of the impact of music on serum cortisol — the stress response hormone — have been mixed, there has not been a consideration of the parallel psychological, physical and neuroendocrine effects of music.”\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E\"Reducing patients' pain and anxiety helps put them on a strong footing toward a quicker recovery and a return home.\"\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nThe study, which aims to enroll 80 patients, measures all those responses in each patient to a 30-minute music intervention, consisting of symphonic and nature sounds.

He had obviously been awakened and came in without a tie. As it happened, the wife of one of his patients — an assistant baker in the North End — had called him, concerned about her husband’s shortness of breath. Roman had told her to go straight to the emergency room and that he would meet her there. The patient arrived and was transported back to room seven — a special four-bed room designated for cardiac cases — and I was assigned care of that patient. Roman walked in, never having seen me before, and despite the fact I was relatively junior, immediately started asking about my opinion on the case. He treated me just like a colleague that had been on the staff for years.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ENow some things never change, and that night the emergency room was very, very busy. The orderlies who would normally transport the patient to X-ray were tied up. Rather than wait, Roman said, ‘come on, let’s wheel him over; we can probably get it done faster.’ And so, we did. While we waited for the X-ray, Roman kept pointing out physical findings on the exam that he thought were pertinent to coming up with a diagnosis. He was teaching the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EA little while later, after the patient was stabilized, he turned to me and said, ‘Brit’ — he remembered my name from our first introduction — ‘why don’t we go out and speak with his wife? I’m sure she’s very concerned.’\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWe went out into the waiting room, and Roman sat down with her. The first thing he did was take one of her hands in his. He said to her: ‘I just want to assure you that your husband is quite sick, but he’s doing much, much better, and I’m encouraged.’ Then he explained the care plan, and turning to me, he says, ‘Now, I’ll be going home, but I’m so pleased that he’s going to be under the care of Dr. Nicholson.’ That was the handoff.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ELater that morning, after my shift, I walked home to Back Bay, where my wife and I were living at the time. I remember it clearly: it was a beautiful late June morning, and there was just a spring in my step. That interaction with Roman, it was really a burning bush moment for me.

Even in his final years, as he watched the institution evolve in its complexity, he never lost the belief that caring for others was privilege.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThrough the years, Dr. DeSanctis was recognized with numerous awards and honors, including his election into the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Science; being named Master of the American College of Physicians; and becoming the first incumbent of the Evelyn and James Jenks\u002FPaul Dudley White Professorship of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. But throughout his career, the recognition that mattered most to Dr. DeSanctis he found in his patients.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Ch2\u003EMore Than a Caregiver; a Friend\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. DeSanctis like to say that medicine was a calling, rather than a profession. He believed that being a physician was a privilege. And while his talents and prestige attracted a who’s who of high-profile individuals — including actor John Wayne, diplomat Henry Kissinger, Boston Celtics coach Red Auerbach and the King of Morocco, Hassan II — he cherished each and every one of the people in his care and invested himself in their wellbeing.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“I have always tried to be not only a caregiver to my patients, but also a friend,” he said in a 2014 essay. And his patients reflected that warmth back at him. (On a personal note, in my six years as a writer at Mass General, the phrase I’ve heard most from donors and patients is ‘we are friends of Roman DeSanctis.’)\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EHe took time to earn his patients’ trust; answering every question and ensuring they fully understood their individual diagnoses and care plans before leaving his office. When possible, he took patients’ blood pressure readings himself (in both arms), rather than delegating the procedure. He was a hugger. Although not a surgeon, he often attended his patients’ surgeries and called them at home to check in after they were discharged. He shared his home phone number and took their calls at all hours. He made house calls. For those he lost, he attended wakes and funerals and wrote personal condolence notes to their loved ones.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis devotion to his patients sometimes came at the expense of precious time with his family — but his wife, Ruth, and their four daughters, Ellen, Lydia, Andrea, and Marcia, made accommodations. Birthday celebrations and family events were often held first thing in the morning, so that Dr. DeSanctis could participate.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor the DeSanctis family, medicine was a family affair. His wife Ruth, who had trained as a nurse, was deeply devoted to supporting his passion for his patients and trainees. The family regularly welcomed fellows, residents and interns at their home for meals and holidays. In honor of this shared commitment, the DeSanctis family established the Ruth and Roman DeSanctis Family Endowed Cardiology Fellowship Research Fund in 2022.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“There was no Roman DeSanctis, physician, without our mom,” says his daughter Lydia. “This fund was an opportunity to pay tribute to her role, which made it possible for him to provide such outstanding care for so many patients. Behind him was a family devoted and committed to supporting his passion for medicine.”\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Ch2\u003ELeading by Example\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAs a professor at Harvard Medical School, Dr. DeSanctis trained hundreds of cardiologists, but his teaching wasn’t just reserved for the lecture hall. He never missed an opportunity to share what he’d learned with new interns and clinicians. In 2007, he received the first MGH Trustees’ Medal, which recognizes individuals who have made a “monumental and lasting impact.”\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“As a clinician and educator, Dr. DeSanctis was humble, insightful, perceptive, intelligent and warm,” said Patrick Ellinor, MD, acting director cardiology. “He treated every patient and trainee as if they were his only priority, which fostered unwavering trust and fierce loyalty to him and to Mass General. In turn, this helped shape not only our division, but also our culture of mentorship.”\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ELate in his career, with retirement on the horizon, he contacted several of his old trainees, entrusting them with the care of his long-time patients.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“There was no better professional complement,” Dr. Nicholson said.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAfter he retired from clinical practice in 2014, Roman partnered with the Development Office at Mass General, applying the same extraordinary compassion and curiosity that had defined him as a physician to fundraising. He continued raising money for causes he held dear — such as the training and education of future cardiologists — but he also set to himself to work to preserve the legacy and future of his beloved hospital. In 2015, after nursing his wife Ruth through late-stage Alzheimer’s, he helped secure funding for the Dementia Caregiver Support Program to assist caregivers and families.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“He had a way of making people feel special, even if he’d never been their physician,” said Assistant Vice President of Development Rachel Mastone, who worked closely with Dr. DeSanctis in his final years. “I’ve never met anyone so compelled to help people.”\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor Roman DeSanctis, practicing medicine was a source of joy, and he never forgot how fortunate he was to be a physician. Even in his final years, as he watched the institution evolve in its complexity, he never lost the belief that caring for others was privilege.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E“You will go to work every day with no other purpose than to relieve pain and suffering and to heal the sick,” Dr. DeSanctis said in a 2014 lecture to the graduating class at Harvard Medical School. “Remember that there are thousands of doctors out there, and your patients have chosen you as the custodian of their most precious assets — their health, well-being, and even their lives. This is a great honor, but it is also a huge responsibility.”\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EPrior to his passing, Dr. DeSanctis expressed his wish that any gifts received in his memory be directed to the Roman and Ruth DeSanctis Family Endowed Cardiology Fellowship Research Fund.
