The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is adding another resource for patients right here in North Texas. I am so thrilled to introduce and assume the role as the Fort Worth Patient Advocate. This position is similar to what I did at Baylor Sammons Cancer Center. I will be meeting one-on-one with patients (at all stages of their cancer battle) and their loved ones in order to introduce them to the resources LLS offers.
I will be at Baylor Scott and White All Saints Medical Center - Fort Worth one day a week, the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders (Fort Worth location and clinics in the surrounding areas - Arlington, Burleson and Weatherford) two days a week. We, as LLS, have not had a dedicated staff member for patient access in Tarrant County until this point, and I am so excited to be able to say that these patients can now have more personal access to the resources LLS provides its patients and their caregivers.

Fort Worth has a special place in my heart and always will.
I am from Fort Worth, my family is still here, and I just love the city and the
people. I am looking forward to getting to know the physicians, nurses, and
staff at these two new facilities and learning how I can best help their patients.
This is such a great partnership between three great Fort Worth groups.
If you are in Fort Worth or know someone that is being
treated here, please come see me or reach out. I would love to meet you and
help you in any way that I can!
Blessings,
Kelsey
