PATRONS | Fall 2016 23 PATRONS | Fall 2016 23 IN YOUR COMMUNITY Ambassadors Hear Story of Resilience and Gratitude On June 16, members of the Ambassadors Program, an annual support group of Torrance Memorial Medical Center, came together at Shade Hotel in Manhattan Beach to learn how their donations were supporting the lifesaving work at the medical center. Oncology is one of four services supported through the Ambassadors. Hugo Hool, MD, Oncology, introduced his patient, cancer survivor Mike Hebson and his wife, Nancy. They shared their journey from receiving their life-changing diagnosis through recovery. During each phase of Mike's personalized treatment plan, they spoke movingly of the nurse navigators, physicians, nurses and staff who offered exceptional guidance and support every step of the way.
