Since The James Stitching Sisters was founded nine years ago, an army of quilters has sewn and distributed over 8,000 quilts for patients at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James). Each quilt is stitched together with love.
Founded by Joanne Lester, PhD, CRNO, AOCN, who is a volunteer at the OSUCCC – James and a senior researcher in the Department of Psychology at Ohio State, The James Stitching Sisters had a noble goal: to provide handmade quilts that are stitched – not tied – for breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
Over the years, the effort has expanded to include quilts for Ohio State’s University Hospital East, women receiving chemotherapy for gynecologic cancers, children receiving radiation therapy, the thoracic cancer survivorship clinic, walker bags for patients at the Martha Morehouse Medical Plaza, and diversity-enhancement projects at University Hospital East.
