We had the pleasure of being at Edward Cancer Center in Naperville today, sharing information about Waterford Place and engaging with patients through meaningful wellness activities.

Waterford Place Cancer Resource Center has long been a place of support, wellness, and connection for individuals receiving care through Edward Cancer Centers in both Naperville and Plainfield. We were grateful for the opportunity to be there today and for the wonderful conversations and connections we made with patients, caregivers, and staff.

If you'll be in the Plainfield area tomorrow, stop by Edward Cancer Center Plainfield between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. and join us for a fun, creative activity. We'll be offering rock painting and chakra bracelet-making while we're on site. We'd love to see you there!

What an incredible time we had at our National Cancer Survivors Day celebration, Casino Royale: Beating the Odds!

Participants enjoyed casino-themed games, exciting high-stakes bingo, great food, and, most importantly, the opportunity to celebrate the strength and resilience of our cancer survivor community.

We were honored to hear inspiring remarks from Rush Copley Medical Center President and CEO John Diederich, as well as the esteemed Dr. Phillip Bonomi and his wife, Judi, who shared their perspectives and support for survivors.

A special thank you to Hollywood Casino Aurora and the FT Cares Foundation for their generous financial support, which helped make this event possible.

And thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this day so special. Your presence, energy, and spirit are what make this celebration meaningful year after year.

It was an honor to represent Waterford Place, connect with community members, and celebrate the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of the AANHPI community. Events like these remind us of the importance of coming together, building relationships, and supporting one another across our diverse communities.

A special thank you to Wren and Amy for sharing their talents and helping introduce attendees to the benefits of massage and acupuncture through live demonstrations. Your participation helped make the day even more engaging and meaningful.

We had the honor and pleasure of hosting the leadership team from Man Up to Cancer this past Friday, and what an incredible experience it was.

Not only did we have the opportunity to learn more about the important work their organization is doing, but we also shared stories, experiences, and meaningful conversations about what it means to navigate cancer and support one another along the way.

There is something powerful about bringing people together who understand the journey firsthand. We are grateful for the connections made, the wisdom shared, and the reminder that no one has to face cancer alone.

Thank you to the Man Up to Cancer team for spending time with us and for the impact you continue to make in the lives of survivors and caregivers everywhere.
