When I learned about William J Harrington, Jr’s legacy, I realized it would be great to follow in similar footsteps. He was a leading authority on viral induced cancers which is similar to my own interests in hematology-oncology and bone marrow transplant with my background working with viral diseases.

Although a plane distance from Miami to Santo Domingo is only 836 miles, the gap in the quality of health care is much longer. For that reason
