Prior to joining Mesothelioma Hope, Amy spent 10 years focused on home health care. She compassionately cared for terminally ill patients who were battling many different types of illnesses. Amy recalls when she began working with mesothelioma patients over 20 years ago.
“I quickly realized how very rare and complex mesothelioma is, not only for the patient, but for their entire family. Acquiring knowledge is the first and, in my opinion, the most important step in dealing with a mesothelioma diagnosis.”
—Amy Fair, RN, Patient Advocate
