Celebrating Pediatric Oncologist Dr. Audrey Evans

This Women’s History Month, we are celebrating the life and legacy of one of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s original breakthrough makers: pediatric oncologist Dr. Audrey Evans. In 1969, Dr. Evans became the first woman to serve as Chief of CHOP’s Division of Oncology, and she went on to co-found the first Ronald McDonald House.

AUDREY’S CHILDREN, a film based on Dr. Evans’ life, will be released in theaters across the United States on March 28. In this episode of Breaking Through, Julia Fisher Farbman, the film’s producer and writer, joins Madeline to discuss Dr. Evans’ extraordinary life and career.
