UK St. Claire Celebrates National Cancer Survivors Day 2022

On Sunday, June 5, UK St. Claire’s (SCH) Comprehensive Cancer Center celebrated National Cancer Survivors Day with an ice cream social!

Survivors, along with their families and friends, gathered to celebrate survivorship with live music and sweet treats. Guest speakers for the event included Donald H. Lloyd II, SCH President/CEO; Mayor Laura White-Brown; Allen Lim, MD, Oncologist/Hematologist; and Ravneet Thind, MD, Oncologist/Hematologist. Each survivor in attendance received a free survivors’ day t-shirt and was entered to win a variety of door prizes.

“Resilience, courage, grace, and strength are some of the words that come to mind when I think of our patients,” said Dr. Ravneet Thind Oncologist/Hematologist. “I am honored, proud, and glad to be part of this team, this community, this fight, and this journey towards the sun with all of you.”

This year marks the 35^th annual observance of National Cancer Survivors Day which provides an opportunity for all people living with a history of cancer to be able to connect with one another, celebrate milestones, and recognize those who have supported them along the way.
