The Jimmy Fund – Spotlighting Vinayak Venkataraman this Sarcoma Awareness Month
The Jimmy Fund shared on LinkedIn:
“This Sarcoma Awareness Month, we’re spotlighting Vinayak Venkataraman, M.D., of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Dr. Venkataraman is one of the leaders of the Adolescent and Young Adult Sarcoma Program (AYA) at Dana-Farber. His expertise is caring for patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas, specifically in supporting the physical, emotional, and socioeconomic needs of AYAs facing cancer.
‘AYAs face cancer at a critical time in their lives. They have unique, often unmet physical, emotional, social, and financial needs. I am very passionate about caring for young adults, especially those with sarcomas. I try to meet them where they are, listen to their stories, align our goals of treatment with their goals of life, and help them thrive. I am also interested in developing novel care models and leveraging novel technologies to improve our care for this unique and underserved population.’
‘I love being a cancer doctor. I love caring and advocating for patients and getting to know them over time as we work together to improve their health and achieve their goals and dreams. I care for patients as if they were my family,’ says Dr. Venkataraman.
