On World Cancer Day, I am honored to extend my strongest support and kindest words to all those who are impacted by cancer," shares Medical Oncologist Jesse Drapekin, MD. "In caring for those living with or affected by cancer, we are in a unique position to truly join with our patients and their families in the most difficult times." Dr. Drapekin continues, "I say confidently with our entire care team in mind: you are not alone. Whether at the moment of early detection or in the final days of your journey, we stand with you just the same, and you are not alone.

Today is also a reminder of both the limits and the possibilities of medicine. While we cannot control every outcome, we can work together to improve early detection and prevention through recommended screening and timely care. We are here to support our community and connect you or your loved ones with the resources they need.

Though the battle against cancer may never end, together we can strengthen our fight."

Honoring Mary Kokosko, RN, our DAISY Award winner at Mercy Health — St. Joseph Warren Hospital! Her compassion, empathy and dedication make a real difference for patients, providing comfort and understanding when it’s needed most.

The patient who nominated Mary for this award shared, "I believe Mary deserves special recognition for the time and patience she showed me during my visit. As a victim of domestic violence with a long history of medical conditions stemming from my experience, I have a lot of anxiety around life-threatening complications while recovering from my injuries. Mary took the time to listen to my fears and PTSD triggers and made my stay and testing here as easy as possible.

She was extremely kind and caring, and went above and beyond to not only comfort me but also listen to my history, which positively affected my treatment here. She took extra time and care with me by dimming the lights for my migraine, and made sure I was always aware of where my support system was waiting for me on the other side of surgery. As an individual with autism as well, it is really hard sometimes for us to navigate the world and its sensory stimuli without complications. Mary made every extra effort to accommodate my needs physically, mentally and emotionally. I believe she is a shining example of what a great nurse should strive to be, and I hope you will consider her for this award!"
