This year, we asked our providers and staff to share one of their favorite patient memories. Dr. Molly Blau, who treats CNS and gynecologic cancers, kicks off our series:
"One of the moments that stays with me most is a patient I treated for brain metastases who shared that she was able to take her daughter to see Joni Mitchell and Brandi Carlile perform at the Gorge.
