Dear Friends.
This time of year can be bittersweet for many people: the end of another year, memories of holidays past, empty spaces at the table…the list is personal and often private. Whatever you’re thinking or feeling during this season, please know that there is hope and goodness all around us, often being manifested by the humblest people who never seek reward or thanks.
So let me take this time to thank our team at Western States and our board of Trustees for their commitment to our mission of bringing clinical trials to local communities. Thank you to our physicians and clinical teams who devote extra time to making research happen in their clinics. And finally, we all owe a debt of gratitude to those brave patients who help further cancer research by participating in a clinical trial, sometimes never knowing how their participation is helping other people.
However you celebrate this time of year, may you know peace and experience hope as the seasons turn and the days turn from darkness into light.
From all of us at Western States, best wishes for a healthy New Year.
Peace,
