“For me, it’s a matter of believing that I have the obligation and responsibility of investing in the science that continues to transform the world of health care. I believe that by contributing to the ASE Foundation, I become an advocate to building a legacy of support for the promise of healthier lives, and safer medicine.I give monthly because I believe that action speaks louder than words; I believe in the ASE Foundation.”Danielle Mee, RDCS Duke Clinical Research Institute

Congratulations to April’s Biggest Donors! Peg Knoll, RDCS, FASE (pictured below) and Navin C. Nanda, MD
