2Oth Anniversary Springfield Cancer Center
Mercy Health's Springfield Cancer Center is celebrating 20 years of delivering comprehensive, compassionate care to help patients facing a cancer diagnosis, and they’re inviting the local community to join in.
"Mercy Health – Springfield Regional Cancer Center has been a pillar of support for our community for 20 years, and one of our core missions has been providing resources and support to individuals facing cancer," said Pilar Mock, Director of Oncology at Mercy Health – Springfield. "This ice cream social is a celebration not only of our two decades of service, but also of the incredible strength and resilience of our local cancer survivors. We are honored to come together and share a moment of joy and hope as we recognize their courage and celebrate life."
An Ice Cream Social will take place at the Cancer Center, located at 148 West North Street in Springfield, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, August 10th. The event is free and open to anyone who would like to attend – especially those who have been touched by cancer. The goal is to raise awareness and honor those who have been lost to cancer while also celebrating survivorship and supporting those still on their journey to recovery.
“Cancer can be a devastating disease, which means getting the care you need is only half the battle. It’s so important to be able to stay close to your loved ones and your support network, and that’s one thing we’ve been able to accomplish – providing that expertise here, close to home, so our patients don’t have to choose,” said Adam Groshans, president, Mercy Health – Springfield.
