"Joyce possesses a rare combination of compassion, competence, and an unwavering commitment to helping others navigate the complexities of the healthcare system. For years, she has been a pillar of support for VHL patients and their families, offering guidance, resources, and a listening ear during challenging times."

Sue B., TN

"My mother saw Joyce as the only person she could reach out to who knew and understood our family’s medical struggles and needs when no one else had even heard of the medical condition. Joyce was only a phone call away for my mother. I remember those important phone calls and the impact it had on her and all of us kids."
