One of our most valued founding<br />

partners is Missouri Baptist Medical<br />

Center, which operates an NCIdesignated<br />

(National Cancer Institute)<br />

cancer center. Our first hospital<br />

partner, Missouri Baptist donates a<br />

wide variety of health care services to<br />

our patients. Hospital professionals<br />

provide operating facilities and medical<br />

supplies, and the hospital’s affiliated<br />

physician specialists from Midwest<br />

Radiological Associates and Midwest<br />

Hematology-Oncology Consultants,<br />

Inc. donate their clinical expertise.<br />

Additionally, in 2007 and 2008, its<br />

foundation stepped up to provide leadership<br />

level financial support to GTH.<br />

Commitment From<br />

The <strong>To</strong>p<br />

Joan Magruder, president of Missouri<br />

Baptist, actively supports GTH’s<br />

commitment to being a “breast cancer<br />

lifeline.” She volunteers as our<br />

hospital advocate and plays a leading<br />

role in helping recruit other hospitals to<br />

our network. Ms. Magruder recently<br />

made a presentation about GTH to a<br />

group of hospital presidents in the St.<br />

Louis region, launching promising<br />

negotiations with several institutions.<br />

<strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> is extremely grateful to the Cancer Center physicians at<br />

Missouri Baptist Medical Center who have donated services to our<br />

patients. Pictured in the center’s new Healing Garden: (back row) Debbie<br />

oncologist and John Niemeyer, MD, chief of radiology at Missouri Baptist.<br />

“As a nationally recognized cancer center, 20 percent of<br />

our cancer patients come to us for the treatment of breast<br />

cancer,” said Ms. Magruder. “We became involved as<br />

supporters of <strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> because of the invaluable<br />

assistance they provide for uninsured and underinsured<br />

women battling breast cancer. At Missouri Baptist, we view<br />

ourselves as stewards of the community’s health, and<br />

working with <strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> we’ve been able to donate<br />

life-saving medical services to women in need.”

<strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> appreciates the support of all of the surgeons, physician specialists,<br />

Receiving <strong>Hope</strong>: Profile of a Patient<br />

When 56 year old Robin B., a single mother of two, moved to<br />

St. Louis in 2004, she had no idea that it was be one of the<br />

best decisions she could make.<br />

In October 2007, Robin observed a change in the size of her<br />

nipple, but did not know what caused it. A few days later while<br />

grocery shopping at Schnucks she noticed Susan G. Komen for<br />

the Cure (Komen) breast cancer awareness information. Just<br />

before she got to her car she went back into the store to pick up<br />

a pamphlet.<br />

“Of course I knew about breast cancer, but I had no idea of the<br />

warning signs or symptoms,” said Robin. “While reading the<br />

pamphlet several red flags immediately went up for me. I called<br />

my sister and we put a plan in action.”<br />

Robin made an appointment at St. Luke’s Breast Care Center for<br />

a test which revealed she had breast cancer. She was scared and<br />

didn’t know where to turn because she has no health insurance.<br />

St. Luke’s referred her to <strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> (GTH). She also called<br />

Komen and they recommended GTH too.<br />

“From the moment I called <strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> I knew everything<br />

was going to work out for me,” Robin sighed with relief. “I spoke<br />

with Fran Jackson, one of the program nurse managers, and she<br />

was so nice. She reassured me they could help.”<br />

A few days later Robin had an appointment with Marlys Schuh,<br />

MD, Surgical Oncologist at the St. Louis Cancer & Breast Institute,<br />

to review her diagnosis. Because Robin’s cancer was detected<br />

early, Dr. Schuh was able to perform a lumpectomy, not mastectomy,<br />

one week later at the Ballas Outpatient Surgery Center.<br />

Jason Li, MD visits with GTH patient Robin B. during a routine check up.<br />

Next, Fran contacted Jason Li, MD, Medical Oncologist, at Missouri<br />

Baptist and made arrangements for Robin to get evaluated for<br />

treatment. Currently she is receiving chemotherapy, radiation and<br />

hormone replacement therapy.<br />

“Dr. Schuh, Dr. Li and all of the nurses and staff in their offices<br />

and everyone at <strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> have been amazing to me,”<br />

explained Robin. “They listen to how I am feeling, they are very<br />

observant of my situation and they always take time to explain<br />

things to me so I am comfortable with my treatment. Their optimistic<br />

approach reassures me that I am getting the best care and I can<br />

focus on getting well and not on my ability to pay for treatment.”<br />

Key to the Cure Boasts Huge Success<br />

Photo coutesy of Ladue News<br />

Event Co-Chairs from left to right: Sheri Diemer, Pam <strong>To</strong>der, Jan Goldstein and Krissy <strong>To</strong>rchin<br />

“ When Saks asked us to be one of<br />

its Key to the Cure beneficiaries,<br />

we never imagined we would<br />

meet a new patient at the gala,”<br />

said Jan Goldstein and Pam<br />

<strong>To</strong>der, GTH event co-chairs.<br />

“Just knowing the event made a<br />

difference in one person’s life<br />

was the icing on the cake.”<br />

Heavy rains did not stop more than 1,000 St. Louisans from<br />

attending The Hunt for Pink October. The kick-off gala and designer<br />

treasure hunt at Saks Fifth Avenue launched the retailer’s eighth<br />

annual Key to the Cure, a national charitable initiative raising<br />

funds and awareness for women’s cancers.<br />

The highlight of the evening came when GTH met an attendee<br />

battling breast cancer who was no longer receiving treatment due<br />

to a recent divorce and loss of her health insurance. One of<br />

GTH’s program nurse managers met with her following the event<br />

and we were able to make arrangements to restart her treatment.<br />

“When Saks asked us to be one of its Key to the Cure beneficiaries,<br />

we never imagined we would meet a new patient at the gala,” said<br />

Jan Goldstein and Pam <strong>To</strong>der, GTH event co-chairs. “Just knowing<br />

the event made a difference in one person’s life was the icing<br />

on the cake.”<br />

This magical evening was followed by four days of shopping<br />

with a percentage of sales benefiting two local charities –<br />

<strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> (GTH) and Siteman Cancer Center (Siteman).<br />

The gala raised over $100,000 that was divided between the two<br />

local charities. <strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> is extremely grateful for all of the<br />

hard work and dedication Jan and Pam provided as co-chairs<br />

working closely with Saks and Siteman. Thank you to everyone at<br />

Saks Fifth Avenue especially Kert Rosenkoetter, Debbie Derrick,<br />

Tim Klinder and Vangie Degner.<br />

We also extend our appreciation to Mercedes-Benz USA for<br />

underwriting the gala and other national charity partners,<br />

including the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s Women’s<br />

Cancer Research Fund. We are grateful to the local support<br />

provided by Oppenheimer, The Private Bank, Plaza Motors, and<br />

Ross & Baruzzini Engineers & Architects. Finally, the gala would<br />

not have been the same without the delicious food, desserts and<br />

festive martinis donated by local caterers, restaurants and<br />

beverage companies.<br />

Bracelet for <strong>Hope</strong> Makes a Great Gift<br />

Are you looking for a special Mother’s Day present,<br />

birthday present or gift to celebrate life? Consider<br />

our special Bracelet for <strong>Hope</strong>, a limited edition<br />

silver link charm bracelet designed exclusively for<br />

<strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> by one of the nation’s leading<br />

collectible jewelry designers, St. Louisan Diane<br />

Katzman. Proceeds from all sales help us spread<br />

the word about our program and arrange breast<br />

cancer care for those in need.<br />

Diane’s inspiration for the bracelet came during<br />

her own experience with breast cancer in 2007.<br />

The bracelet features silver and white pearls<br />

symbolizing wisdom and the importance of<br />

spreading knowledge and four charms represent<br />

the <strong>Gateway</strong> to <strong>Hope</strong> mission: a hope pendent,<br />

a heart (compassion and healing), four-leaf clover<br />

(good luck) and a sun (optimism).<br />
