VENDOR SPOTLIGHT
Business Partnerships Highlight Moffitt’s Commitment to Supplier Diversity
Sherrel Sampson, Canviiy, LLC (Local Minority Woman-owned Business)
When Sherrel Sampson launched her organic health and wellness brand in 2015, she didn’t necessarily think a cancer center was a place to showcase her products. But a chance meeting with a cancer doctor at a farmer’s market changed everything.
