Hayes Green Beach Memorial Hospital in Michigan is forming a new group for breast cancer survivors in Eaton County. The new group that has a slogan of Survive is an action verb! will launch with a focus on several projects.
The Chemo Cab project helps with transportation for patients going to chemotherapy treatments. The Progressive Journal project will include a special handcrafted book that will pass from person to person throughout the year and be brought to meetings. The pages will be filled with individual stories that provide encouragement, while also being humorous and hopeful. The Hope Chest project is similar to the journal. The chest will be filled with stories, artwork, poems and various other items that patients can take or leave to offer inspiration, hope and support to each other.
The kick-off meeting on June 19 at 6:30 p.m. in room A of HGB's Trumley Education Center, an explanation of how the message Survive is an action verb! will be realized. Breast cancer survivors and their guests are encouraged to become a part of a growing and influential group.
