The Best Chairs in the House

Edward Johnson wanted his wife, Marlene to get the best chair in the SMH Infusion Center for her treatment each week. So every Thursday, he and Marlene arrived at SMH at 6 a.m. to claim that chair, so that Marlene could receive her three-hour chemotherapy infusion in relative comfort. The other infusion chairs had lost their charm, it seems.

Thanks to a recent grant, all eight chairs in the SMH Infusion Center are being replaced. In December, the St. Tammany Memorial Cancer Fund awarded $17,400 to the SMH Foundation so that all infusion patients can get the best chair. The St. Tammany Memorial Cancer Fund is committed to raising money to fight cancer, through research and patient and family services, ensuring that it remains in St.Tammany Parish when applicable. They also allocate funds for academic scholarships to help young people in our community win the battle against cancer. Our heartfelt thanks go to the Board and staff of the Fund for their generosity. >> More News
