The original mission, to enhance the stability and nurturing opportunities of these families, is fulfilled through the provision of community-based and overnight shelter services designed to give short-term relief to participating parents. In 1997 the mission expanded to provide care for children with special needs from throughout the state who have been taken into protective custody as a result of abuse and neglect.

The Patient Institute - Educating Patients. Empowering You.
Dr. Bucay was honored for using her experiences as patients to educate and advocate for others requiring similar care. Vivian Bucay, M.D. Vivian, a renowned dermatologist, had been diagnosed with Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Vivian went on to tell the story of her self-diagnosis, her treatments, finding out that the Melanoma was Stage four and had spread to her lungs, and the irony of her being a doctor suffering with the disease that she is meant to diagnose in others. She mentioned that she writes articles and gives lectures throughout the world about her experience. Dr. Bucay has been blessed with being cancer-free and having good prognoses. The Patient Institute educates patients and provides them with tools that they need to more successfully navigate the healthcare system!
