CONNECT WITH FELLOW SURVIVORS AT THE HORMEL INSTITUTE

Cancer touches the lives of countless individuals. Some describe it as a disease, but for everyone, cancer is a journey filled with unique challenges and triumphs. Navigating this path requires not only medical treatment but also the support, knowledge, and empowerment that come from understanding and connecting with fellow survivors. The Masonic Cancer Center's THRIVE Cancer Survivorship Series, in collaboration with The Hormel Institute, is a beacon of hope and information for cancer survivors and their loved ones.

What is the THRIVE Cancer Survivorship Series?

The THRIVE Cancer Survivorship Series is a remarkable endeavor, offering a weekly virtual program that provides a wealth of information and resources on cancer survivorship. This series, hosted by experts, covers topics relevant to individuals who have experienced cancer—from diagnosis and treatment to living with cancer and even throughout remission. The aim is to provide participants with knowledge, support, and a sense of community.

All sessions are free, and those who attend in person with us at The Hormel Institute will have the chance to win a door prize.
