Dozens of current and former patients, family and staff gathered in celebration of survivorship.

“Just decades ago, few even dared to say the word ‘cancer,’" President/CEO Frank Corvino said in welcoming the survivors. “Today hundreds of thousands of people are living long and healthy lives as cancer survivors, thanks to improved medical services and treatment options.”
