On the evening of August 25th we will honor a very special young woman – one who has accomplished much for young adults nationally. Our honoree, Jamie Schanbaum, granddaughter of Dallasite Gene Schanbaum, college student, survivor of meningitis, and subsequent amputee has become a leading advocate for legislation to make the meningitis vaccine mandatory. Diseases like Jamie’s and many others diseases are faced by young and old every day at Hadassah Hospital.
