Wentworth-Douglass Hospital: Seacoast Cancer 5k

Description

Join the party when 3,000 walkers and runners rock the Seacoast Cancer 5K on Sunday, September 23 in Dover, NH. One of the region’s largest fundraising events, it’s a celebration of life and the lifesaving work of Wentworth-Douglass Hospital’s Seacoast Cancer Center. The Seacoast Cancer 5K is a positive experience from beginning to end, with hundreds of neighbors, friends and family lining the route to cheer. And at the start/finish line, you’ll find music, food and activities for the kids. Best of all, every dollar raised supports cancer care right here in our community. Proceeds from the Seacoast Cancer 5K help provide vital services such as free transportation for patients, comfortable clothing to make treatment easier, and support groups that create community and enhance resilience. In addition to these ongoing initiatives, funds raised will be used to open a multi-disciplinary technology enabled conference room. This state-of-the-art audio/video conferencing facility will bring the expertise of Massachusetts General Hospital to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital with the touch of a button. By late spring 2018, physicians in Dover and Boston will be able to collaborate in real time, sharing diagnostic images and consulting on difficult cases. Located on the Cancer Center’s freshly renovated first floor, this new center will impact nearly every patient and provider, ultimately improving cancer care.
