A Legacy of Education

Linda Arena, an otherwise healthy and active non-smoker, was diagnosed with lung cancer and succumbed to the disease on June 2, 2002. To commemorate their mother’s life and legacy, Natalie Parke, Jennifer Krahe and Stefanie Arena have established the Linda K. Arena Endowed Scholarship Award for Lung Cancer Education at University Hospitals. The fund will provide an annual scholarship to staff and/or students at University Hospitals to obtain advanced training or to further their education in lung cancer prevention and treatment. It is the hope of Linda’s daughters that “this gift will assist the amazing staff at UH to help other families enjoy a long life spent with loved ones.”
