CHILTON CANCER CENTER COLLINS PAVILION Physician Directory “This can be a confusing, stressful time for cancer patients and their loved ones. Just knowing that someone is available to help can provide comfort, reassurance and better outcomes.” BREAST SURGERY MEDICAL ONCOLOGY Margaret Sacco, MD Andrew Bernstein, DO BREAST IMAGING Martin Frank, MD Francesco ridolFi/getty images/istockphoto Lori Manning, Oncology Nurse Coordinator/ Patient Navigator, Chilton Cancer Center “This can be a confusing, stressful time for cancer patients and their loved ones,” she noted. “Just knowing that someone is available to help can provide comfort, reassurance and better outcomes.” Lou March experienced those benefits firsthand during his battle with prostate cancer. “The nurse navigator guided me through treatment options and took my mind off insurance and paperwork so I could focus on the most important things… my wife, my kids, and my recovery,” he said. Lou has been cancer-free for two years – an anniversary he doesn’t take for granted. But rather than celebrating with a party or special trip, this grateful cancer survivor honors his good health and fortune by paying it forward. As longtime residents of Wayne, Lou and his family business uphold a tradition of giving to the community. The organization supports many local charities, such as the Boys Club, first aid squads, and various health related causes. Its recent donation to Chilton’s Cancer Center was particularly meaningful, however, as it reflected the company’s most ambitious fundraising effort – and a success that was not realized through one corporate check but through the hearts and contributions of its workforce. “Ninety percent of my employees donated to this fund drive, because most of us have been touched by cancer,” he stated. “We have a tremendous cancer program right here in our backyard. We supported the new position at Chilton so it can continue to grow… and so no one has to go through cancer alone.” “If our gift makes it a little easier for even one family,” he added, “we’ve done a great thing.” ❖ Lisa Bash, MD Jason Incorvati, MD Nicole Lacz, MD COLORECTAL SURGERY Michael Kane, MD RADIATION ONCOLOGY Joshua Nochumson, MD CHILTON MAGAZINE WINTER 2016 (L to R) Yana Pavel Goldberg, MD, James R.
