Create 5X More Hope!
Diagnosed with osteosarcoma, an aggressive form of bone cancer, at age 20, Hannah faced a painful fight that no young person should have to face. Hannah is now cancer free and a nurse at City of Hope, and she recently became a mother herself, helping other pediatric cancer patients and their families with not only her nursing skills, but also with her compassion and understanding arising from her own experiences.
Brent Loescher has the calm, cool, quiet “just doing my job” demeanor you’d expect from a 21-year U.S. Army veteran with a tour of Iraq under his belt and a Bronze Star on his chest. A natural leader, he enjoys speaking before audiences about his passion and expertise in what he calls Operational Excellence.
Loescher prefers not to focus on himself in his public speaking, but he makes an exception when it comes to City of Hope.
When Coombs was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in 2020, her team of City of Hope experts quickly developed a personalized treatment plan for her. Following preoperative chemotherapy, surgeons successfully removed six tumors, and a closely monitored course of “cleanup” chemo helped ensure any remaining cancer cells in her body were eliminated.
