Founder of the Barbara A. Colameco Cancer Transportation Fund
The Barbara A. Colameco Cancer Transportation Fund is a non-profit organization, created by Barbara and her husband Lou, together with Dr. Rene Rubin of Hahnemann University Hospital. In 2007, Barb was diagnosed with breast cancer. Despite her illness, Barb still chose to put others before herself. While undergoing her chemotherapy, she befriended many fellow patients but soon noticed they did not return for their treatments because they could not afford the transportation to and from their appointments. She knew her calling would be to ensure no patient would go without treatment due to lack of transportation, and continued this mission until she lost her three year courageous fight with breast cancer in March 2010. Lou and Dr. Rubin upheld her commitment and to date have raised over $125,000 with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the patients. Please visit www.baccancerfund.org to learn more.

As a leader, Lou has an innate calling towards social responsibility. Lou's company is a reflection of his compassion and commitment to improve our quality of living as a people. This donation is one of many provided by Wellshire. We have donated hams to cancer patients at Hahnemann for the past six years.
The patients and staff at Hahnemann Hospital were moved by the beautiful gesture. Equally moved, Wellshire was extremely overjoyed to see Dr. Rubin's patients smiling for the holidays.
