In Memory of Helen Fortune and Barbara Park:
The board of Sisters In Survival is forever indebted to our sisters and co-founders Helen Fortune and Barbara Park.

As a gifted attorney and educator, Helen brought her dogged determination, her ethical consciousness, and her worldview of social justice to our organization.

A renowned children's author, Barbara's incredible work ethic and passionate belief in her causes served as an engine that propelled SIS.

Their memories are honored with every patient we serve.
