Chiara’s Story
When Montefiore’s cancer specialists discovered Chiara’s agonizing leg pain was misdiagnosed, and, in fact, a rare form of bone cancer known as Ewing Sarcoma, her future at the Washington Ballet was put into question. Montefiore’s specialists not only treated Chiara, but paved the way for her triumphant return back to center stage.
Louanne’s Story
