NCH hosts virtual interactive event for breast cancer survivors
This fall, we will honor anyone who currently has, or once had, breast cancer by planting bulbs near the NCH Labyrinth Garden.

Northwest Community Healthcare (NCH) invites breast cancer survivors and their families to participate in “Hope Grows Everywhere,” a virtual interactive event honoring and celebrating survivors throughout the community.
“Hope Grows Everywhere” will create a garden that connects your homes with NCH. This fall, we will honor anyone who currently has, or once had, breast cancer by planting bulbs near the NCH Labyrinth Garden. We’ll also provide you with a bulb to plant in your yard or in a special place you choose. Then, in the spring, we’ll share photos on the NCH Facebook page and our Instagram account, asking you to share them, too, tagging us in your posts.
To participate, send an email to Vanessa Grazian at vgrazian@nch.org or call Vanessa at (847) 618-6660 no later than Monday, October 4. Your email should include:
