This week, our team at Cancer Support Community Pasadena, is celebrating Patricia Ostiller's 3rd Anniversary as our Executive Director!

Patricia started with CSCP in 2015 as Director of Development, and we were honored when she took her passion for our mission to a new level as our Executive Director - at the height of the pandemic, no less! Not only did Patricia help us navigate an uncertain future during a global pandemic, but she has spearheaded the purchase of our permanent new home (launching this summer), and more than anything - has created a family of CSCP staff with her compassion and leadership.

Team CSCP is so grateful to be led by this champion!
