On Sunday, June 1, 2008, Stony Brook University Medical Center will host the 4th annual National Cancer Survivors Day®, an annual worldwide celebration in hundreds of communities in the United States, Canada and other countries. Over 500 survivors, guests, and physicians, administrators and employees are expected to attend.
"Carousel of Life" honors the lives of all Long Island cancer survivors, particularly those treated at SBUH. The day includes entertainment, refreshments and carnival games. More importantly, it brings together survivors from age 1 to age 88 with SBUH physicians and staff, and their families, in a fun and meaningful setting.
The event will be held on the grounds of the Ambulatory Care Pavilion/Cancer Center, located at 3 Edmund Pellegrino Drive, from 11 am to 2 pm. To register, please click here. More information about participating, or volunteering, can be found by calling 631-444-4000.
The non-profit National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation (http://www.ncsdf.org) supports hundreds of hospitals and support groups nationwide, and in 2005 the organization is celebrating its 18th year. National Cancer Survivors Day has become one of the world's largest cancer survivor events.
