Hero Provides A Free Lunch
Chemotherapy treatments are no fun, but patients here at the Kaiser Permanente Oncology Department in Denver have reason to look forward to their visits. On the fourth Thursday of every month everyone here -- patients, family, and staff -- gets a free, homemade lunch. "They love it and I love it. I bring sandwiches and Texas sheet cake, and chips. We have the same menu every month, but everybody likes it," said Elise McGew-Hall. Elise started the lunch when her husband was a patient at Kaiser. Although he lost his battle to cancer, 15 years later, Elise is still here.
BE THE CHANGE
If you were to look into the future 15 years, consider what kind act you would like to have kept up; do that act this week.
