And their staff’s commitment to their patients comes through loud and clear with their longtime support of PanCAN PurpleStride.

“We are excited to see our patients and their families at PanCAN PurpleStride Columbus for the seventh straight year,” said Team Captain Karla Richards, RN.

Their PurpleStride team, called The James Morehouse Tumornators, has grown from three members in their first year of participation to 27 members, all who look forward to walking and to sharing in the applause that their patients receive on stage at this inspiring celebration.
