Brighter Days Ahead Foundation The Brighter Days Ahead Foundation offers help to cancer patients who live in Madison and the surrounding counties and seek treatment at Pattie A. Clay Regional Medical Center. The Brighter Days Ahead Foundation was established in 2010 and is a division of the Pattie A. Clay Foundation. Anne Richardson lost her battle with lung cancer October 14, 2009, but the inspiration for the Brighter Days Ahead Foundation began for Lee Anne Browder and her family long before that day. Throughout her battle with cancer, Mrs. Richardson utilized the services at Pattie A Clay Regional Medical Center and Richmond Oncology Center for chemotherapy and radiation. Brighter Days Ahead has come together with one mission: to offer hope and comfort to every person who enters Pattie A. Clay Regional Medical Center for cancer treatment.
