Our team sends our thoughts and prayers to Liz’s family and work family at LOCAL 12, WKRC-TV.

What started as a mother’s quiet concern became a daughter’s powerful mission.

After Donna Snider was diagnosed with stage III bladder cancer, she and her daughter Megan turned their fear into action — raising awareness for a cancer that’s often diagnosed too late and isn’t talked about nearly enough.

Together, they’re helping bring the first-ever Bladder Cancer Walk to Cincinnati, partnering with the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN) to shine a light on symptoms, early detection, and hope. Their story is about strength, family, expert care — and the power of speaking up.

Join us as we walk for Donna, Megan, and every bladder cancer patient and family.

This week, we celebrate the incredible volunteers who give their time—and their hearts—to our patients.

From offering snacks and drinks, to sitting with patients during long treatment days, to sharing their own stories of hope, our volunteers bring comfort, connection, and kindness into our practices every single day. Many are cancer survivors themselves, or family members of former and current patients, choosing to give back in the most meaningful way.

Your presence matters more than words can express. Thank you for reminding our patients that they are never alone.

This Earth Day, join us in caring for the world around us and for the people in it.

Certain factors are associated with an increased risk of developing head and neck cancers.

Identifying and screening for these risk factors, such as to***co use, alcohol consumption, and exposure to HPV, plays an important role in early detection and risk assessment. Regular evaluation and timely referral can help support earlier diagnosis, when treatment may be most effective.

Understanding individual risk is a key step in informed, proactive care.
