Susan P. Wheatlake Regional Cancer Center Hosts Cancer Survivor’s Day Celebration

Survivors, Friends, Family invited to attend

June 26, 2017 – REED CITY, MI: In honor of National Cancer Survivors Day, the Wellness Center at the Susan P. Wheatlake Regional Cancer Center is hosting a celebration open house.

National Cancer Survivors Day is a day for cancer survivors, caregivers and friends to acknowledge the cancer journey and cherish life. The celebration will be held this Thursday, June 29 from 1 to 4 p.m. All survivors, including those recently diagnosed and in treatment, friends and family are welcome. The event will be held in the Wellness Center at the Susan P. Wheatlake Regional Cancer Center, located at 4499 S. 220th Avenue in Reed City.

“In the past years patients have mentioned they aren’t a ‘survivor’ because they’re not cured yet. We remind patients that they ARE survivors because they are surviving the fight with cancer day by day!” said Meagan Grein, wellness center assistant at the Susan P. Wheatlake Regional Cancer Center.

Hor d’oeuvres, cake and refreshments will be served. Attendees can learn about the American Cancer Society and enjoy a photo booth and integrative services such as chair massages, acupressure and reflexology.
