"There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up."

This quote by John Andrew Holmes represents the spirit of P.A.T.H.S. The only reason to experience anything is to make someone else's journey a bit easier.

It will help families approach challenges with confidence and information when needed. It creates opportunities to have all those important discussions well in advance of any medical crises. It will help patients and their advocates, as well as their extended families approach challenges with confidence and information, when needed.
