MidState Medical Center's Annual Cancer Survivors’ Day

The Cancer Center at MidState Medical Center announces its annual Cancer Survivors’ Day to be held on Sunday, September 18, 2011, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Meriden’s Hubbard Park. This day is dedicated to honoring and celebrating the lives of cancer survivors.

Survivors are encouraged to bring their family and friends to share in the day. Activities for children include face painting, balloon animals, and caricature drawings. Survivors can treat themselves to a relaxing chair massage; and of course, musical entertainment and refreshments can be enjoyed by all. Both survivors and caregivers will share how cancer has changed their lives and offer inspirational messages and words of wisdom to others.

Last year Cancer Survivors’ Day attracted nearly 300 people.
