Douglas Flora, Executive Medical Director of Yung Family Cancer Center at St. Elizabeth Healthcare, President-Elect of the Association of Cancer Care Centers, and Editor in Chief of AI in Precision Oncology, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Sharing for reach. For the next week I’m going to find some young professionals just starting out, and to give them a boost.
Starting on here can feel intimidating and you don’t feel heard. At first…
Today, I’m picking Abby Ellis.
For those who don’t know Imerman Angels yet: they connect cancer fighters and survivors with someone who’s been through what they’re facing.
One-on-one mentorship. Same cancer type. Similar age. Similar journey.
When you’re diagnosed, the clinical side gets mobilized immediately—scans, biopsies, treatment plans.
But who helps you navigate the fear, the questions your oncologist doesn’t have time for, the 2 AM uncertainty?
That’s where Imerman Angels steps in.
They match you with a Mentor Angel who gets it because they’ve lived it.
Thank you, Imerman Angels, for helping so many.
And Abby Ellis, if you keep sharing the best stories you can find about people’s daily kindnesses and human connection, you will find this community will pay attention—those stories need to be told more on this platform. I’m invested.
LI family, lets grow Abby’s voice here?
She is just getting started! You are next up, Ashley Fronk-you are doing great stuff, too!”
