The heart reaches places our hands never can.

Welcome to Beyond the Bell, the Oncology team at UW Medicine.

Our team name reflects something we believe deeply: hope exists at every stage of the journey. In oncology, the bell is a meaningful milestone for many, but every person's journey is unique. To us, it represents more than a single moment it symbolizes everything that comes after treatment and beyond survival: living, growing, making memories, giving back, and continuing to find hope, wherever someone may be in their story.

As healthcare professionals, we see every day how research, innovation, and the support of a compassionate community can change lives. That’s why we’re proud to walk in support of the American Heart Association, whose work advances lifesaving research, education, and care for individuals and families affected by heart disease and stroke.

Whether you’re joining our team, making a donation, a remote participant, and/or helping spread awareness, thank you for being part of our mission. Every contribution and every effort to raise awareness no matter the amount or reach helps move this mission forward.

Some journeys are measured in miles. Others are measured in moments, milestones, and lives changed. Together, we walk for every one of them—beyond the bell.
