In recognition of the 31th Annual National Cancer Survivor Day, hundreds of cancer survivors and their families along with members of our health care team gathered for the Saint Barnabas Medical Center’s Cancer Program “Celebration of Life”. The annual event, held at Mayfair Farms in West Orange, celebrated the courage of cancer survivors, the fortitude of their health caregivers, and the support of their loved ones. This year’s event featured award-winning actress, singer and cancer survivor, Valisia LeKae who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the age of 34 while starring as Diana Ross in Motown: The Musical on Broadway. Valisia inspired the crowd with her personal story and inspiring performance.

Celebration of Life is one of numerous community and/or educational activities sponsored by The Cancer Centers of Saint Barnabas which feature several specialty services and a full range of state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment programs. These include surgical and medical oncology, radiation therapy, cancer genetic counseling and testing, gynecologic oncology, and clinical research. The Cancer Centers provide outpatient facilities with private chemotherapy treatment rooms, a community resource library and extensive psychosocial support programs.
