Over 200 patients, families and care providers recently attended Newton-Wellesley Hospital’s Vernon Cancer Cancer Survivorship Event held at the Elm Bank Reservation in Wellesley. The first annual event was an opportunity for cancer survivors and clinicians to reunite and celebrate survivorship. Special guest and WCVB TV 5 Reporter Kelley Tuthill also attended the event and spoke to the crowd about her personal experience with breast cancer.
