Calabasas residents Lynette Sikand, Ellen Lynch, Teresa
Uribe-McGilvray and Laura Pistotnik have friends and
family who have struggled with cancer. Fortunately,
they received amazing support and treatment at the
Providence Saint Joseph Disney Family Cancer Center.
As a way to give back and help other cancer patients, these four
women formed a committee called the Friends of the Disney Family
Cancer Center. In April, in recognition of Oral, Head & Neck Cancer
Awareness Month, they hosted a fundraising event at Casa Del Cielo,
home of Lynette and Mark Sikand on Park Vicente in Calabasas. What
original homeowners, were instrumental in the development of the Dis-
ney Family Cancer Center and hosted several fundraisers more than
37 years ago. Daughter Teresa Uribe-McGilvary and the Friends of the
DFCC are proud to honor their legacy in her childhood home.
More than 100 local residents attended this event to raise donations
and celebrate the cancer survivors who have received care through
the world-renowned oncology specialists at the Disney Family Cancer
Center. Rex Hoffman, M.D., director of radiation, and Daniel Copps,
M.D., dental oncologist at the DFCC, spoke at the engagement.
The Disney Family Cancer Center at Providence Saint Joseph is the
San Fernando Valley. The four-story center offers patients the latest
technology in chemotherapy and radiation oncology, as well as
integrative medical services including acupuncture, massage, hyp-
notherapy, gynecologic counseling and hematology/oncology. In
addition, the DFCC offers customized rehabilitation treatment for
quality-of-life goals.
