Maryellen and Richard have pledged $100,000 for nursing education at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, helping to address the growing need for skilled oncology nurses. This generous gift builds on Maryellen’s own remarkable legacy as a Dana-Farber nurse and supports programs led by Anne Gross, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, which empower nurses at every stage of their careers—ultimately elevating care for patients.
