Behind every act of care is a story of dedication. Meet Nurse Eric Basiwa. He has been a palliative care nurse at TRF for 2 years. His care has gone beyond health checkups when he became the godfather one of our pediatric patients.

Thank you, Nurse Eric, for partnering with TRF in bringing compassionate care to those in need.
