Our brave fire fighters answer the call to battle blazes and protect life and property, at great risk to themselves. Nearly 2/3 of fallen fire fighters since 2002 died of occupational cancer, caused by exposure to toxic chemicals. Learn more at IAFF.org International Association of Fire Fighters .

We wish you all a happy, healthy and beautiful New Year! See you in 2023!

Alcohol use increases the risk of 7 types of cancer, including female breast, larynx, pharynx, esophagus, liver, colorectal and mouth. It can also worsen chemotherapy side effects and increase the risk of recurrence. So this New Year's Eve, pass on the champagne and try a mocktail instead - like this refreshing virgin mojito!

It's National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day! Our crew enjoyed some holiday hijinks at our staff party yesterday, attired in some awesomely tacky Christmas gear and jingling all the way!

It's cold outside - and there's nothing like a bowl of soup to warm you up on a wintry day! Our very own oncology dietician, Karen Randall RD, CSO, shared a recipe for a healthy, hearty soup that you can make in a slow-cooker. Soup is a great source of hydration for cancer patients, and this recipe is chock-full of vitamins and minerals. Bon Appetit!

We are truly grateful for our wonderful physicians, nurses and staff - and for the opportunity to serve our community for over 25 years. From all of us to all of you, Happy Thanksgiving!
