😴 Quality sleep is more than rest. It’s essential to healing.

For people undergoing cancer treatment, sleep plays a powerful role in recovery, immune function, mood, and overall well-being. Yet symptoms, stress, and treatment side effects can make good sleep harder to achieve.

"Optimizing one's quality of life is critical," said medical oncologist Dr. Kevin Zhang, "And since you cannot fix a problem without first identifying it, it's important that, if rest feels out of reach, you carefully discuss this with your cancer care team to identify how to improve your sleep."

Today is a reminder to prioritize healthy sleep habits. Small changes can make a meaningful difference.

During March, Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, we’re highlighting colorectal cancer and the broader group of GI cancers that affect the digestive system.

The good news? Treatment is rapidly evolving with advances such as:

✨ Immunotherapy that activates the immune system
🎯 Targeted therapies that attack specific cancer mutations

For some patients, these advances are leading to outcomes we never saw before, including the possibility of cure.

Screening saves lives. Innovation is changing lives.
Let’s spread awareness this March.

Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to cancer prevention. As a reminder during Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, screenings start at age 45.

It's important to know your body, know your risks because 10-15% of all cancers, including colorectal cancer, can have an inherited component.

This month's Hope Highlight features our genetic counseling team.

In this video, Genetics Counselor Eric Fowler talks about how genetic testing can help inform prevention strategies such as:

✔️ Positive lifestyle changes
✔️ Earlier screenings

Your health story isn’t written in stone. Knowledge gives you the chance to shape it.

Meet Ryan, our newest (and furriest) team member! 🐶

The 55-pound poodle is officially on-duty as a therapy dog, delivering tail wags and sweet smiles from Zion to Morton Grove to Chicago, alongside his handler, Christopher B.

Ryan isn’t just adorable. Research shows spending time with trained therapy dogs can help reduce stress and anxiety while boosting emotional well-being.

Ryan is named after a local young man who passed away. His family directed donations to Canines 4 Comfort which is how they were able to purchase and train Ryan. The family shared it has been, "a healing experience to watch Ryan grow into this role." It's through the generosity of Canines4Comfort that Ryan is now with City of Hope Chicago.

And here’s the big news: Ryan just passed the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen test. That's a 10-step evaluation including tasks like sitting nicely and walking on a lease without pulling.

Give a round of a-paws to Ryan! 🐾

Momentum is building. Futures are bright. And we’re proud to help lead the way.

Recently, our thought leaders came together at the Kenosha Innovation Neighborhood for a powerful symposium focused on what’s next in oncology, which is especially notable as the American Cancer Society reports that the five-year survival rate for all cancers combined is now nearly 70%.

Swipe through to see moments from this impactful gathering and stay tuned as we continue advancing the future of cancer treatment and support.

Thank you to Chief Clinical Officer Dr. Walter Stadler, Chief Operating Officer Beth Garoutte, Hematologic Oncologist Dr. Jacob Bitran and Kenosha community leader Erin Ginn.
