New Milford Hospital’s 19th Annual Cancer Survivors Program

NEW MILFORD — Certified laughter yoga instructor Joe Gillotti will be the featured guest speaker at New Milford Hospital’s 19th Annual Cancer Survivors Celebration on Thursday, June 14. from 4 to 6 pm.

The annual program will be held at The Maxx, 94 Railroad Street. Event festivities start at 4 pm with delicious refreshments, followed by welcome remarks, special introductions, and a featured guest speaker presentation.

Seating for the free event is limited to a cancer survivor and one guest. A “cancer survivor” is defined as anyone living with a history of cancer from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life.  Survivors face many challenges throughout the diagnosis and treatment cycles. 

Despite these difficulties, cancer survivors can live active and productive lives. That is why the staff of the New Milford Hospital Regional Cancer Center is proud to celebrate with survivors at this event.

Introductory and commemorative remarks will be presented by Deborah Weymouth, senior vice president and executive director of New Milford Hospital, Sandra M. Lombardo, MD, New Milford Hospital medical oncologist/hematologist, radiation oncologist Joseph Bargellini, MD, and Barbara Davies, RN, Cancer Center manager.

The guest speaker presentation “Laughter — A Good Exercise for Your Health” with Mr Gillotti, explores how a healthy lifestyle can be a fun and energizing experience.  

Cancer survivors and guests planning to attend the 19th Annual National Cancer Survivors Celebration must RSVP by calling 800-350-1595.
