Our team, crew and client from Medexus Pharma went out to Michigan to spend a few days with Kate White. We captured Kate’s remarkable story of resilience and hope told by her, her family, neurosurgeon and neuro-oncologist at Henry Ford Health. Kate was diagnosed and treated twice for a glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive type of brain tumor. For both surgeries, Kate’s surgeon used our client’s optical imaging agent, which enabled him to better view and remove her tumors. Kate is a remarkable and talented person. She is a Doctor of Educational Leadership, a media specialist, a real estate broker, an entrepreneur, a community volunteer, a yoga enthusiast, a wife, mother of three, sister, daughter, aunt, cousin and friend.
Watch her story, and you can also read more in this Today.com story we arranged once the video was ready.
