Childhood Cancer Survivor Gives Back

Juanita Prada is just one of the many special volunteers at Carilion Clinic! A childhood cancer survivor (twice!), Juanita has volunteered for the past five years in Carilion’s Pediatric Oncology Clinic, supporting children and their families where she was once a patient herself.

With a passion for helping children, she has transitioned from volunteer to employee in her new role as a Child Life Assistant, working toward her dream of becoming a Child Life Specialist.

Congratulations, Juanita!  Thank you for making Carilion a better place through your nearly 1000 volunteer hours!
