This World Cancer Day, let’s make sure no one fights alone — or too far from home.🎗️🏠
At Feist-Weiller, closing the care gap means more than providing treatment. It means building the infrastructure to bring the world’s most advanced cancer therapies right here to North Louisiana.
Proceeds from Life Savers 2026: Golden Age Gala directly fund the renovation of the McDade Hospitality House, which means:
1️⃣ Our Shreveport-Bossier community has access to cutting-edge cancer treatments close to home.
2️⃣ Patients traveling from our rural communities can receive advanced care without the added burden of wondering where they’ll sleep or how they’ll afford it.
At the heart of Life Savers is a simple but powerful goal: keeping patients and families close to care when they need it most.
✨ Step into the spotlight with us on February 12.
