Taking place at the River Tower on the Central Peninsula Hospital Campus
Central Peninsula Hospital, in partnership with the Central Peninsula Health Foundation and Aurora Integrated Oncology Foundation, is thrilled to announce its upcoming Surviving and Thriving through Cancer event, set to take place on Saturday, September 20th. This one-of-a-kind event aims to provide a day of empowerment, education, and inspiration for individuals who are fighting cancer or on the road to recovery, as well as their families and caregivers.
The Surviving and Thriving Through Cancer event is a heartfelt initiative designed to cater to the unique needs of cancer survivors, family and caregivers as they navigate life beyond the diagnosis. It will be held in the River Tower of the CPH Campus from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The event has been designed around the American Institute for Lifestyle Medicine’s six pillars of health: Eat plants, keep moving, be present, stay calm, and love people. Attendees will be treated to live entertainment, healthy catering including a mocktail bar, integrative therapies & activities, prize drawings, and gifts for survivors, all focused on promoting physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing.
Highlights of the Fair:
• Educational Opportunities: Leading healthcare workers, nutritionists, therapists, and mental health experts will be on hand to address topics such as survivorship care, nutrition during recovery, and managing post-treatment emotions.
• Fitness and Movement Education: Attendees can get in-person instruction on yoga, meditation, and movement classes designed to enhance flexibility, strength, and overall physical and mental wellbeing.
• Supportive Community: A space for survivors to connect, share stories, and build a supportive network of peers who understand the challenges of life after cancer.
• Wellbeing Marketplace: Local vendors and organizations will showcase products and services tailored to those wishing to live a healthy lifestyle, including organic skincare, mindfulness tools, healthy food and supplements, and helpful handouts.
• Art Therapy: Cancer survivors are invited to paint a rock with a meaningful message as part of our “Paint Your Strength In Stone” project. These unique, hand-painted stones can be taken home, or displayed around the hospital grounds as lasting symbols of strength, hope, and survivorship.
This event is open to all cancer survivors, their families, and caregivers, as well as the broader community who has been touched by cancer.
