John's Story

John’s daughter was diagnosed with lymphoma. She was the first patient to enroll in a particular immunotherapy clinical trial, and it was successful. John says, “If there is a silver lining to her lymphoma story, it’s that she opened a door that might one day help save another child’s life.”

Patients and families with rare conditions deserve to be treated in a place with the medical knowledge to provide quick, clear answers and the expert care they need.
