Event Description

In this pre-recorded webinar, Taye Tessema and Steve Hodges share their incredible story. When Taye, an AML patient, heard the words he'd dreaded, "There's nothing else we can do for you," he thought that was it for him and his battle with AML. Until he got connected with a HealthTree for AML Coach, Steve, and things started changing for him. Watch the recording to see how the power of connection and a second opinion saved Taye's life.
