LEMONAIDE
OFFERS AMENITIES TO IMPROVE
LIVES OF PATIENTS - AND THEIR CAREGIVERS
Jane Huang, a hematology and oncology fellow, sometimes shares her patients'
happiness when she tells them about remission and cure - "but all too
often I have to have difficult conversations about their disease and progress."
But
Huang and several physician and other colleagues have found a way to temper
the difficult moments for themselves and more particularly their patients
with LemonAide - a 2-year-old nonprofit group based at Stanford's Cancer
Center that grants one or two patient "wishes" each month.
