History: Named in honor of Dr. Lynne Bliss MD, the Pure Bliss Family Resource Center was established in 2008. After her diagnosis with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2007, Dr. Bliss and her husband had difficulty finding resources to help educate their children about the disease. From this desire to provide better information about cancer to other families, a grassroots effort sprang up and funds were raised to build a cancer library and resource center in 2008.

Dr. Lynne Bliss and her husband have both practiced in the community since 2000.
