From OHC
March 19, 2019
Corissa Hines brought comfort bags she and a team created for OHC cancer patients.
It is not uncommon for OHC to receive a call from a former patient, former family member, or a volunteer who wants to provide some sort of comfort bag, a homemade hat or other caring item to our cancer patients. On this particular day, Corissa Hines called us to say, “her father was in active treatment for stage 4 kidney cancer with Dr. David Waterhouse” and she wanted to bring in comfort bags she and a team had created for our cancer patients. She had gifts for all “the wonderful nurses” who provide love, support and excellent care to her father, who our staff refer to as a member of their family. At OHC, staff often refer to our patients and their family as “our family.”
The outpouring of emotion and love shared by Corissa, while she told her story to the OHC treatment team and to the OHC patient Hayden, moved everyone. Through her personal donations as a senior consultant with Thirtyone Gifts and donations from friends, Corissa brought more than 50 beautiful bags to our OHC Blue Ash office. OHC patient Hayden was the first to receive a comfort bag.
