National Cancer Survivors Day
June 1, 2008

National Cancer Survivors Day, or NCSD, is the world’s largest cancer survivors’ event, and is celebrated every June in communities across the nation. Everyone who has been diagnosed with cancer is considered a survivor for the rest of his or her life. Join the more than 10.1 million cancer survivors in the United States to focus on survivorship concerns and honor their efforts to overcome cancer!

NCSD symbolizes hope and inspiration for many individuals facing the uncertainties of cancer. Improved treatments, advances in relapse prevention, and better methods of detection and diagnosis are also contributing to the outlook and future for many cancer survivors.
Vericom can help you communicate cost-effectively with your internal and external customers. Here are some examples of how SoundCare can be used to raise awareness about this issue

    Sample SoundCare Message

    "After a diagnosis of cancer, many individuals experience fatigue, side effects of therapy, stress, employment concerns, and financial problems. Survivors and their families may be seeking information on health outcomes and coping strategies. To obtain help and support, cancer survivors can contact the American Cancer Society at 800-ACS-2345."
