Women's History Month Employee Spotlight | "Caring for patients and advocating for them has given me an appreciation for life that I’ve never experienced anywhere else."

MSK clinical nurse Adelita Xóchitl Hinojosa-Martin has spent her life weaving together science and creativity — using both to uplift the people around her. A lifelong dancer, Adelita began training at age five and competed through college, often teaching classes to offset tuition. She also volunteered in nursing homes and low-cost veterinary clinics.

In 2005, Adelita graduated cm laude from Texas Woman's University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and made the leap from Texas to New York City, finding her way to the doors of MSK.

After the birth of her second child, Adelita completed a travel nursing position at Weill Cornell. She then returned to MSK, this time in Outpatient Neurosurgery, before eventually rejoining the Neuro Advanced Care Unit (NACU). There, she cares for patients with neuro-oncology, neurosurgical, orthopedic, and telemetry needs.

When she isn’t at MSK, Adelita dances professionally. She has taught at some of New York City's most prestigious studios, including Joffrey Ballet School’s Jazz & Contemporary Summer Intensive, Steps on Broadway, Peridance, and Broadway Dance Center, and and many more. In 2025, she channeled her dual passions and created Larga Vista Dance, a company created to empower women through art and evidence-based healthcare.

When asked what Women's History Month means to her, Adelita shares: "It's about honoring the beauty, brilliance, and complexity of women — and being unapologetic about discussing women's experiences."

Paul, an MSK patient, knew within three minutes that MSK was different.

When he first called to talk through his prostate cancer diagnosis, Paul assumed he’d be asked to fill out a long list of forms. Instead, he found that MSK had done the preparation for him. His new care team already had his biopsy slides on hand and were reviewing them. “That’s when I knew I was in the right hands,” he says.

That early experience stayed with him. It’s also what eventually led Paul to join MSK’s Patient and Family Advisory Council for Quality (PFACQ), which brings the patient and caregiver perspective into everything the institution does.

As his care moved forward at MSK, Paul felt consistently supported — through testing, decision-making, and surgery, even during the height of COVID. “They heard me and addressed my worries,” he says.

As part of his recovery, Paul’s MSK team was clear: Daily walking was essential. He committed to walking at least two miles a day — a pledge he has kept for more than 1,800 consecutive days, logging some 6,000 miles. Paul continues to take walks daily, whether to his local coffee shop or along the beach at the Jersey Shore or on Cape Cod, capturing photos of the sunrise along the way.

Today, Paul serves as a PFACQ representative on MSK’s Clinical Council and Patient Education Committee, helping review clinical standards and patient-facing materials. It’s the same steady, thoughtful approach he brings — step by step — to representing patients at MSK.

“By being a member of PFACQ I get the privilege of learning about all the different ways a patient experience can be impacted and how we can always attain an even higher bar.”

Employee Spotlight | “Every department I’ve been a part of at MSK over the past 14 years has been very mission-based and focused on finding solutions," says Terron Browne, a Project Manager for the Design & Construction team at MSK. "I really value that."

When Terron Browne joined MSK in 2012, it wasn’t a title or a role that stood out to him first — it was the people. From the start, he noticed something that felt genuine: colleagues who truly cared about the work and about one another.

Over the years, his path has taken him across the organization, from ambulatory operations to digital health and now Design & Construction, even participating in Cycle for Survival. Each move reflects MSK’s culture of opportunity, but also Terron’s willingness to keep learning, growing, and saying yes to new challenges.

Today, as a Project Manager in Design & Construction, Terron focuses on implementation, helping ensure major projects move forward smoothly. Despite the different teams and roles, Terron sees a common thread running through his career. “At the core, it’s always been about serving our patients," he shares. "That’s the through line, and that’s why I’m still here.”

When reflecting on Black History Month, Terron emphasizes awareness and intention. “We have a diverse workforce, and people are impacted differently by environmental, cultural, and political forces," he shares. "Being open to differences in perspective goes a long way in creating a healthy, supportive environment.”

Right now, researchers at MSK are leading investigations into the causes of early-onset cancer — examining everything from genetics to environmental factors to lifestyle and biology.

"For breast cancer specifically, We’re studying how earlier menstruation and delayed later childbearing may be extending exposure to reproductive hormones, potentially increasing risk," says Dr. Shari Goldfarb, an MSK breast medical oncologist. "Philanthropy plays a vital role in making research like this possible."

This month, consider supporting MSK's work towards discovering therapies to bring hope to people impacted by cancer. Today, your gift goes 2X further to fund cancer care and research that saves lives, not only today but for years to come. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3OyNpG7

"I was diagnosed with stage 3 re**al cancer at 28 — just months after the birth of my son. The news was devastating."

Kelly, an MSK patient, feared her dream of a big family was shattered.

She enrolled in a clinical trial co-led by Dr. Andrea Cercek, Co-Director for the Center for Young Onset Colore**al and Gastrointestinal Cancer at MSK, and Dr. Luis Diaz Jr., an MSK gastrointestinal medical oncologist, investigating whether people whose re**al tumors have a specific genetic mutation could be treated with immunotherapy alone

She received infusions of a form of immunotherapy called a checkpoint inhibitor, which helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.

And after the ninth treatment, the seemingly impossible happened. Every single person in the trial saw their tumor vanish. Including Kelly. It happened without chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery — and ultimately preserved her fertility.

Months after stopping treatment, Kelly learned she was pregnant with her second child, and today, is a mom of three.

This month, help support Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK)'s work towards discover therapies to help patients like Kelly and bring hope to people impacted by cancer. Today, your gift goes 2X further to fund cancer care and research that saves lives, not only today but for years to come. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4aFSWlq

Maureen once wondered if she would ever feel like herself again. After her light chain (AL) amyloidosis returned following a second stem cell transplant, everyday tasks – even walking – became more difficult.

In July 2024, Maureen joined a CAR T cell therapy clinical trial at MSK, led by Dr. Heather Landau. Just days later, she noticed a change. Maureen remembers telling her husband, “I know this sounds crazy, but I’m walking in the hall, I don’t have chest tightness, and my legs are picking up like the good old days.”

Ten days after leaving the hospital, Maureen walked four miles with her family. Soon after, she climbed 137 steps to the top of Montauk Point Lighthouse. Today, she is hiking, biking, and traveling again with the people she loves.

Learn from physician scientist Dr. Karlo Perica how this immunotherapy is changing what is possible for patients like Maureen: https://bit.ly/3OnfCQ3
