In 1997, T2B was founded by two local women, Doris Lapico and Tania Sorge, who shared a similar story. Having spent a great deal of time in the hospital with their families and loved ones, the two felt the need to change the experience of cancer for patients and families while in a hospital setting. The goal in 1997 was to refurbish two Oncology rooms and bring in a warm comfortable surrounding for patients and families having to be in the hospital during difficult times. From this, a grassroots organization that is now known as Transition to Betterness (T2B) began and continues to touch many local families and patients in our local community.
