In honor of Susanna Harwood Rubin🕊️🤍✨
May her memory be eternal.
“Susanna was a special person for us. She was gentle and always appreciative. She managed her disease progression, setbacks, and treatment side effects with dignity, and always, hope.”
— Dr. Massimo Cristofanilli
Dr. Cristofanilli was Susanna’s oncologist, a remarkable physician who treated her with cutting-edge therapies, and also with compassion, respect, and deep empathy. His efforts helped Susanna live a rich, meaningful life the past four years, despite the cancer.
Dr. Cristofanilli is the co-founder of Precision Medicine Against Cancer (PMAC) at the Weill Cornell School of Medicine, a non-profit dedicated to advancing cancer research and training the next generation of cancer specialists.
To honor Susanna and the incredible light she brought into our lives, we’re establishing an educational fellowship in her name to support ongoing cancer research and training. In lieu of flowers or gifts, we invite you to contribute to this fellowship and help carry her legacy forward. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference.
