CRNAs Karen Florian, Debra Weimer, Helen Defranco, and Tera Thomas, as well as John P. Williams, MD from our department attended the event. Overall, supporters raised $165,000+ to support the Family House mission to provide a "home away from home" for patients and families who travel to Pittsburgh for medical care.
