We are happy to have national partners that offer programs that our community can take advantage of. If you are experiencing grief the National Brain Tumor Society offers a grief support group.

Led by Holly Gainsboro, National Brain Tumor Society’s Grief Support Group is an open, supportive space for bereaved brain tumor community members to share their experiences with grief among peers and under the guidance of a professional facilitator.

The Grief Support Group welcomes anyone who has lost a loved one to a brain tumor and offers participants the space to be heard while also providing tools and resources to support individuals through their grieving process.

The next meeting is Thursday, September 4th. You can register here:

We are thrilled to recognize Tyesha Clemons, MA for her incredible dedication and teamwork! On a particularly chaotic day in the clinic, Tyesha selflessly took point, helping patients across both Neurosurgery—where she has been an invaluable team member for nearly 20 years—and Neurology.

Her calm, compassionate, and proactive approach ensured that patients received the care and attention they needed, even in the midst of a hectic day. Tyesha’s commitment truly embodies the spirit of our Honeybee Award—going above and beyond to support patients and colleagues alike.

Thank you, Tyesha, for all that you do! 🐝💛

🌍💙 Today is World Kindness Day 💙🌍

A small act of kindness can mean the world — especially for those facing the challenges of a brain tumor diagnosis. Whether it’s offering a comforting word, sharing a meal, listening without judgment, or simply being present — kindness helps heal hearts and strengthen hope.

Let’s take a moment today to show kindness to ourselves and to one another. Every gesture, no matter how small, creates a ripple of care and compassion through our community.

💫 Together, we can make this journey a little lighter — one act of kindness at a time. 💫
