October Events and Programs at Cancer Services

Quick Links:

Boo! October is here! The chilly weather can be nice for spending some time outside and hanging out friends, so come join us for our October programs!

We had an awesome kick off to Breast Cancer Awareness Month with the 22nd Annual Pink Ribbon Talks last Saturday. Thank you to everyone who came out and made it a fun, educational and enjoyable day! And thank you to Allegacy FCU and the family/supporters of Devora Black who helped make the event possible.

Special note that Friday, Oct 13th is Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day! Watch for the Cardinal Hotel and Twin City Arches to be lit up in the MBC colors (pink, blue and green)! There is a local group of MBC survivors who get together monthly, and if you’d like more information about that, let us know and we can connect you!

This month Nature Therapy is a perfect moment to enjoy fall weather and connect with nature. Art and Wellness is a wonderful opportunity for you to enjoy a fun activity in the comfort of your own home. Come connect with other survivors during Survivorship Discussion Group! Or pamper yourself by setting up a Healing Hands appointment. Attend a Yoga class this month and discover what your body can do.

Here are more details about our October Programs. Register for them now!
