Harmony and Hope: Free community event

We constantly hear from our patients how important they feel it is to find enjoyment in the small things. Lynn Davidson, one of our guest bloggers, says, “Life and all those things contained therein don’t stop with the diagnosis of cancer. We have to continue on … celebrating birthdays, planning vacations, looking forward to the spring planting and ... making the hard decisions. Cancer isn't our lives - just a part of them.”

We’re excited to present “Harmony and Hope: A musical celebration to recognize our patients and their families.”

Together we can enjoy the music of internationally acclaimed Cape Breton fiddlers Andrea Beaton & Glenn Graham and Bagpiper Colin Gemmell.

“We hope this night will be the first of many to come as we work to create an arts program that encourages our patients to interact with their care team and other patients on a non-medical level,” says Dr. James Lechner, medical director, Providence Regional Cancer System. “When people undergo treatment for a disease like cancer it’s incredibly beneficial to maintain a sense of self that doesn’t revolve around being a patient.”

The event is free and refreshments will be provided. And, if we're lucky, Dr. Lechner may even play his fiddle too!
