InStyle Magazine went state by state to celebrate these heroes. Trisha Wise-Draper, MD, PhD, associate professor in the Division of Hematology Oncology at UC, a UC Health oncologist and medical director of the UC Cancer Center's Clinical Trials Office, represented Ohio and discussed her contributions during this difficult time.
"Cancer never stops, whether there is a pandemic or not, making my position more critical than ever," she says.
