A few team members from our community were present, including Lisa Hartman, our International Patient Liaison. “It was such a wonderful night, witnessing the collaboration of physicians, pharmaceutical representatives, and patients all united by a common goal: to tackle infertility,” Lisa shared.
Other attendees included Dr. James Carter from our Annandale location, Tasha Williams, our Columbia Office Supervisor, and Mark Harper, our CEO. The evening was filled with inspiring moments, including the presentation of the Barbara Eck Founders Award to Emily Roberts, who, after facing her own battle with cancer in her 20s, recognized the lack of resources for fertility preservation during treatment. She went on to establish Fertility Support, which later became part of a larger organization, ensuring that cancer patients can access the help they need.
In addition to Emily, other honorees included notable names like P&G, NPR, and dedicated volunteers such as Kelly Adams. For a full list of award recipients, click here.
