Advancing Research
That improves lives
Meet Stephanie
Stephanie Fancher kept seeing the same problems as she worked as a pediatric nurse in the emergency department. Now pursuing her PhD, Fancher is searching for solutions—finding ways to help children receive health care earlier and prevent problems before they start. Donor support for graduate research helps people like Fancher solve problems that affect people around the world. Her work is helping shape what comes next for pediatric care.
