Our thanks to WTRF for covering our National Cancer Survivors Day event last Thursday, June 5. Here’s an excerpt from their coverage, along with a link to the entire piece:
Trinity Health System celebrated the lives and resilience of local cancer survivors at their Savor the Sweet Life event.
They gathered near the Tony Teramana Cancer Center in Steubenville to observe National Cancer Survivor Day.
Local businesses provided food for the free event.
There was also music and other activities.
The highlight of the event was encouraging stories of hope and healing from cancer survivors.
This area does have a lot of patients who are cancer survivors, and we want to acknowledge them and to show their resilience and to see all the challenges that they face. And they come out here to talk to each other. They have stories to tell each other. And we just like to celebrate that, that they are a cancer survivor.”
Gretchen Heizler – Manager of Oncology Service at Trinity Cancer Center
