National Cancer Survivors Week
Week-long events from June 5 to June 9, 2023
Join us for an opportunity to recognize members of the cancer survivor community in and around Frederick. Throughout this week long celebration, we will be sharing stories, connecting with other cancer survivors, celebrating personal milestones, raising awareness of ongoing challenges, and recognizing those who have supported us along the way.
Anyone who is newly diagnosed, currently in treatment, or has a history of cancer is encouraged to participate. There will be events and discussions, both virtual and in-person, throughout the week. All in-person events will be held at the James M Stockman Institute located at 1562 Opossumtown Pike, Frederick MD, 21702.
