Behind every breakthrough and every comforting touch in healthcare, there stand countless unsung heroes whose unwavering dedication and compassion bring hope and healing to those in need.
The Healthcare Heroes Fund provides a way for you to honor medical professionals who have impacted you or a loved one. It was originally named the Dr. Carlos Alvarado Fund, established by parents whose children were treated by beloved pediatric oncologist Dr. Alvarado. John and Ellen Yates’ son, Paul, was one of his patients. John said, “Dr. Alvarado’s gentleness, compassion, and love for the children with cancer, including our son, were ever-present. He was always there for Paul and our family.”
Knowing that many have a “Dr. Alvarado” in their life, we have expanded the Healthcare Heroes Fund to provide everyone with a way to honor medical professionals who have provided special care.
