Ana Longenderfer Dougherty and her family learned first hand what patients and their families go through to participate in an NIH clinical trial.
In Ana’s memory and per her wishes, Ana’s Impact supports patients and their families during their treatment at NIH though these programs:
- Fridays with Ana and Friends, where volunteers deliver a variety of sweet and salty snacks, toiletries, puzzles, and art supplies to in-patients at their bedside.
- Special treats during the holiday season included Pendleton plush blankets, fuzzy slipper socks, body lotion, and a choice of all-in-one art project kits.
- Holiday lunch with made-to-order pizzas, fresh baked goods, and a choice of drinks delivered to their hospital rooms.
- Gift cards for patients who are able to eat at outside restaurants.
- Virtual reality games and crafting supplies to be used in rehabilitation therapy.

Hello Golfers, Sponsors, Volunteers and Friends.
A wonderful day was had by all at Friends at NIH’s 15th annual golf tournament. The sold out event was held at beautiful Manor country club in Rockville, Maryland.
Thank you to all of our sponsors, players, special guest speakers, and volunteers for helping make this year’s event our most successful ever!
The $73,000 raised that day will go a long way to support our patient programs throughout the year.
Please enjoy the wonderful foursome photos and candid highlights.
Thank you to our long time friend and volunteer photographer Maggie Bartlett, Special Times photography.
We hope you all had a great time and learned more about what we do together. Each time we gather at Friends’ special events… together we bring hope to patients and families and together we make a huge impact.
Thank you to our wonderful guest speakers, Mr. Alastair Thomson, Mr. Jeff Shilling and Ms. Krystle Hensley for sharing their important work to support the mission of the NIH and their compassionate support of patients at the NIH.
Congratulations to Mr. Jeff Shilling for having our first Hole in One!
With your support we can keep growing our programs, expanding local housing in our wonderful furnished apartments in Bethesda, supporting patients with rent, utilities, travel and basic needs such as groceries and clothing.
