American Internet Tech donates to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (Jule 2018)
In June of this year, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis held one of the first symposiums on the subject of pediatric palliative oncology. Through the efforts of Dr. Justin Baker, director of the Quality of Life and Palliative Care Division at St. Jude, a host of specialists explored how best to improve the quality of life for patients and their families from the time of diagnosis and throughout treatment.
Dr. Baker’s multidisciplinary team begins by handing incoming patients a stress ball that looks like a koala — their program is called Quality of Life for All (QoLA, pronounced koala) — with instructions to squish the toy if they are stressed and use the always available phone line to contact the staff (printed on the koala’s bottom), whenever anything is needed. Anything means anything.
American Internet Tech makes one more donation to St. Jude’s, stating our support and concern for all the children that are fighting cancer and help them strengthen their ability to get through tough things.
