Dr. Heather Stefanski
Dr. Heather Stefanski, a fellow at the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital, specializes in childhood cancer research. Her objective is to shorten the amount of time it takes for a bone marrow recipient’s immune system to recover. She received a grant from St. Baldrick's Foundation for her research. Basin Electric is in its third year of fundraising for St. Baldrick's.

Amber DesRoches, Bismarck, ND, was one of Dr. Stefanski's patients. Basin Electric has honored Amber's memory at all the cooperative’s St. Baldrick’s events. "One of the things I remember about Amber is she had a lot of complications. And she had this spirit that would never let go. And you would look at her and say, 'Wow,'" Stefanski said. "With adults, we're disasters! We'd be like, 'Life isn't fair. I can't believe this.' But Amber was just taking it one step at a time, just going through it. And it was amazing. It was amazing to be her doctor."
