Event: Cancer Survivors' Day

The Cancer Center at MidState Medical Center holds its annual Cancer Survivors’ Day on Sunday, September 18, 2011, 2 to 4pm, at 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. Musical entertainment is provided courtesy of the Pat Adams Trio. Both survivors and caregivers will share how cancer has changed their lives and offer inspirational messages to others.

Last year, Cancer Survivors’ Day attracted nearly 300 people. For more information or to register, please contact The Palladino Family Cancer Center at MidState at (203) 694-8631. Registration is preferred.
