TWE 379: She Built a Pediatric Cancer Center from Scratch Annette Logan-Parker

What do you do when the system meant to care for people… falls short? You build something better. On this episode of The Women's Eye Podcast, host Stacey Gualandi sits down with Annette Logan-Parker, founder and Chief Advocacy & Innovation Officer of Cure 4 The Kids—Nevada's only accredited outpatient pediatric cancer and rare disease treatment center. Annette's journey is both professional and deeply personal. After 15 years as a nurse, she witnessed firsthand how patients were often treated as line items and how providers struggled within a system that didn't always prioritize care. But everything changed when her own son suffered a catastrophic football injury—with rare, post-injury complications—leading to years of surgeries and navigating healthcare from the patient side. That experience became the catalyst for creating Cure 4 The Kids—a place where excellence, access, compassion, and innovation come together. As Annette said, "Every child deserves access to care—and a cure." 👉 In this episode, we explore: • The founding story behind Cure 4 The Kids • The "C4K Way" and what makes it different • How her son is now thriving as a firefighter • Her advice when told something can't be done: "They might be right—but do it anyway." 🎪 Annette is also hosting the 15th Annual Circus Couture Gala on May 7—bringing together circus, art, and community to support this life-changing mission. 🔗 Learn more and support Cure 4 The Kids: Website: Instagram: Facebook: 🔗 About TWE Host Stacey Gualandi: 🎧 Listen and be inspired by a woman who saw a gap—and built something extraordinary to fill it.
