Angel Testimonial
- Emily Stollman, Lipstick AngelBeing a Lipstick Angel has been (by far) the most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life. I’m grateful every day for the beautiful Angels and patients that I’ve connected with through this incredible program.
- Marisa Quinn, MBA, BSN, RN, NEA-BCDirector of Nursing, Infusion Centers and Cancer Support ServicesI see emotionally challenging days for patients that are made lighter by your touch, family members that would otherwise feel helpless give thanks for raising the spirits of their loved ones, and patients with side effects that are relieved by your intervention. It reinforces how vital Lipstick Angels’ partnership is in caring for the whole person. We truly appreciate you and all that you do.
