When Yolanda Claire was diagnosed with breast cancer, she learned that being independent doesn't mean going through it alone.

From her patient navigator who became her closest ally, to her Beacon Medical Group Oncology Elkhart team's access to Mayo Clinic expertise, Yolanda found world-class treatment and compassionate support close to home. Today, she's cancer-free and eager to share what she learned along the way.

Q1: What did you wish someone had told you before your procedure?

Yolanda: "I wish someone had told me how vulnerable a cancer diagnosis can make you feel, even when you're used to being independent. I thought I could handle everything on my own, but having my patient navigator attend that first appointment with (my oncologist) was priceless."

Q2: What was your biggest fear, and how did it turn out?

Yolanda: "I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of appointments and treatments ahead of me. But I made a list and crossed them off as I went, transforming what felt like a mountain of to-dos into a series of achievements that gave me strength to keep moving forward."

Q3: How did having access to Mayo Clinic expertise impact your confidence?

Yolanda: "Dr. Toor initiated a consultation with an expert at Mayo Clinic, which gave me an even greater sense of confidence in my care. That really gave me a sense of peace, knowing Beacon and Mayo Clinic were totally on the same page. I felt like I was really covering the bases and getting world-class treatment close to home."

Q4: What would you tell your family/friends about supporting someone through this?

Yolanda: "Let them accept help, even if they think they can handle it alone. Having Dawn as my advocate and a second set of eyes and ears at appointments was invaluable. Sometimes you need that friendly face more than you realize."

Q5: What's different about your life now compared to before treatment?

"I feel great and 95% positive about my future. I have very strong confidence in Beacon. I just spout how much I love Beacon to the world! My hardest days are behind me, and I'm back to enjoying everyday life with a lighter spirit."

Fall adventures are beautiful, but ticks haven’t gone into hibernation. These tiny hitchhikers are still active in our region as long as temperatures stay above freezing. Deer ticks can latch on for days and may carry Lyme disease, a serious bacterial infection.

If you find a tick, remove it promptly with fine-tipped tweezers and monitor for flu-like symptoms or a rash. Early treatment is key.

Dr. Brandon Bedsole, second-year resident with the Memorial Family Medicine Residency Program, shares more helpful tips for tick prevention and safe removal. Read more: https://bit.ly/3W4OR3u

When Andrea Martinez walked into Mayra Adame's hospital room at Elkhart General Hospital, car seat in hand, she was ready to meet the newest addition to a family she'd come to love. When Andrea asked about the baby's name, Mayra smiled.

She had named her daughter Andrea.

"I was absolutely speechless. I literally felt like I couldn't talk," Andrea remembers. "I have always joked around with friends and family that they should name their babies Andrea like me, but never thought it would really happen."

For a year, Andrea had been more than just Mayra's community health worker at Beacon. She'd shown up during one of the most difficult times in Mayra's life — not just for scheduled appointments, but in the quiet, hard moments. "Since day one, I felt like someone was listening to me and my needs and not judging me," Mayra says. "Andrea didn't only do her job, she became my friend that I could rely on."

Now, baby Andrea carries the name of the woman who believed in her mother when she needed it most. "This is what the role means to me," Andrea says. "It's about building trust, connection and being that additional support for mothers and their families. Our connection is so special because we show up together with our hearts."
