Hannah Neimy ’20 recently graduated from medical school at the Medical University of South Carolina. While studying biology at the College, she had always planned to pursue a career in medicine. However, during her sophomore year, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. Throughout her treatment, she met Brian Hess, MD, a blood cancer specialist, and developed a deep interest in the science behind diagnoses and treatment. She also became involved with programs like The Boon Project for Young Adults Fighting Cancer, which provided a sense of normalcy through fun activities that fostered community and connection during her cancer journey. Ms. Neimy will soon begin her dermatology residency, bringing a unique perspective shaped by her own experience as a patient.
