This Spring, Sutter Health’s Memorial Medical Center plans a full schedule of activities for cancer patients, their families and supporters. The schedule includes cancer screening events, complementary therapy programs and a new cancer survivorship conference.

“Our Cancer Services programs and activities are designed to provide everyone in our community a variety of ways to deal with a very emotional and complex health topic,” said Cheryl Casey, Community Outreach Coordinator for Memorial’s Cancer Services. “We will provide valuable information, and offer cancer survivors and their supporters many different opportunities to be active and involved in positive activities on a regular basis, surrounded by those who care about their well-being.”

The programs provide activities for everyone involved in the healing process: cancer survivors, their family members, caregivers and health care providers.
