Star of the Month

A person I have worked with was just honored as a star of the month by the Star Campaign, a national effort by The Wellness Community to honor family members, friends, healthcare professionals, social workers, and others who provide support and care to cancer survivors.

Twin Peaks, CA
Honored by Christine Balch

Dave Balch has scheduled and accompanied his wife Christine to over 240 appointments since she was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2002. He has driven over 26,000 miles between their ranch in the San Bernadino Mountains to chemotherapy, radiation, surgical, and general doctors’ visits in the Los Angeles area.
