An influential vocation sparked a powerful combustion of development for Robert Vanaria. Vanaria, a fourth-year medical student at the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine (HMSOM), credits a chain reaction of positive experiences with mapping the course he’s plotted throughout his formative years of adolescence and into adulthood.

The boy would go to his sister’s appointments, and spend lots of time waiting to hear all the updates. The little girl had Pierre Robin Sequence, a rare condition with a cleft palate and undersized jaw. It ultimately required a dozen surgeries during her first two years of life.

In the twists, turns, and moments of uncertainty, a person’s true calling is often forged, rather than found. Such is the case for Tatiana Oliveira, a fourth-year student at the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine (HMSOM), whose journey to medicine is a powerful testament to resilience, determination, and the profound impact of family.

The future of medicine just received a monumental boost. The Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation today announced a record-breaking $10 million donation from philanthropist Helena Theurer to the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine.
