Join Stefanie's Fight Against Lymphoma

Our dear friend and colleague, Stefanie Azevedo, is gearing up for the fight of her life. After hiking with her family and experiencing an acute onset of shortness of breath, Stefanie went to her primary doctor where a chest x-ray was done followed by further imaging. A large mass in Stefanie's chest was found. Stefanie was transferred to Stanford where she had fluid drained from her lung and a biopsy of the mass. Stefanie has been diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkins Lymphoma. Stefanie is pending port placement and sees the Oncologist Tuesday to begin her treatment plan with Stanford.

Stefanie and her husband both work fulltime, and have their incredible 9-year old daughter, Haven. With Stefanie out for an extended period of time, now two Stanford hospital admissions, prolonged chemotherapy as well as driving back and forth to the Valley for their daughter, this wonderful family needs our love, prayers and support!

Thank you for your kind words, well wishes, extended love and prayers! Stefanie has been an instrumental part of the Wellpath team at the Merced County Juvenile Hall, in collaboration with Merced Probation. We all love you, Stefanie! Now let's fight! #stefstrong
