International Women's Day 2012: CitiHope Honors Dr. Olga Aleinikova
As the world celebrates International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, CitiHope wishes to honor Dr. Olga Aleinikova, a truly outstanding and courageous woman whom we have partnered with for over 20 years.
CitiHope’s founder and president, Rev. Paul Moore, vice president Paul Moore II, and former board chairman Dr. Michael Christensen first met Dr. Aleinikova in 1990, when she was coordinating Minsk Oncology Center’s efforts to treat children suffering from leukemia, Hodgkin’s disease, and thyroid lymphomas resulting from exposure to elevated levels of radiation from the Chernobyl disaster.
Since that time, CitiHope has kept faith in partnering with Dr. Aleinikova and the Belarusian Ministry of Health to improve the quality of cancer care for the nation’s youth.
