Mercy’s Hall-Perrine Cancer Center celebrates cancer survivorship

Mercy’s Hall-Perrine Cancer Center invites patients undergoing cancer treatment, as well as past patients, to share in a celebration of survivorship from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thurs., June. 6. The drive-through event takes place in the parking lot of Hall-Perrine Cancer Center, 701 10^th St. SE, on the Mercy Medical Center campus in Cedar Rapids.

Survivors will be guided to the circle drive, where they will be greeted by cancer center staff and receive a survivor celebration bag (while supplies last).

Patients coming to the cancer center for appointments that day may pick up the same give-away items when they come into the facility.

National Cancer Survivors Day is held annually in hundreds of communities throughout the world in early June. It’s a symbolic event to demonstrate that life after a cancer diagnosis can be a reality.
