Stephanie Dolak

Graphic Designer · Community Outreach Advocate · Support Group Administrator

Serving SBSF since 2011

Stephanie Dolak has been an integral part of the Short Bowel Syndrome Foundation team since 2011. For more than a decade, she has given her time, talent, and steady presence to help SBSF grow—from early community work to national representation at medical conferences and pharmaceutical meetings.

Like all SBSF staff and group administrators, Stephanie serves as an unpaid volunteer. Her dedicated service reflects the heart of a patient-led organization: people who choose to show up for one another.
