“Clinical Research Professionals are the backbone of clinical trials as they work day in and day out with cancer patients and their families to explain trial details, ensure protocol compliance, monitor side effects, collect data, enter data and ensure that trials run smoothly,” said Jennifer Dill, Chair of the Alliance Clinical Research Professionals Committee and the Research Administrator, Oncology Clinical Trials at Missouri Baptist Medical Center in St. Louis. “Linda really stood out to us for her commitment to clinical trials and her dedication to expanding access to novel treatments to patients of all walks of life. We are delighted to bestow this honor upon her.”
Bulone frequently partners with Aiden, the hospital’s therapy dog, who often shadows her at outreach events and in the cancer center to provide comfort to patients. The duo is a familiar and deeply appreciated presence across the community.
