Survivorship Retreat: An event for women who are cancer survivors
You’re a cancer survivor from the moment you’re diagnosed. This event is an opportunity for you to explore renewal, connect with others who truly understand your journey and find power within yourself. You’ll receive encouragement and learn from cancer experts in a comfortable space.
Event is free of charge for cancer survivors. Due to limited seating, registration is reserved for cancer survivor attendance.
Lunch and light snacks will be served.
Cost: Free
