Four-year-old princess and patient Sophie Nowinakonopka, rear, and family members gather goodies from City of Hope employees for Halloween. Many of City of Hope’s youngest patients — and their brothers and sisters — participated in the Pediatric Halloween Parade and Trick-or-Treat on Oct. 27. The annual parade, organized for patients and their families, started in front of City of Hope Helford Clinical Research Hospital and marched through the Helford Hospital lobby before reaching clinic areas in the Main Medical Building and Geri & Richard Brawerman Ambulatory Care Center.  Nearly 200 children attended the event. (Photo by p.cunningham)
