Join us for a singular celebration at our hospital campus, as we break ground on the new Hoyt-Hunter Cancer Center. This “construction chic” affair takes place at the future site of this transformative facility. We can’t wait to build something extraordinary together!
As this will be a unique, one-time celebration of the groundbreaking for the new cancer center, there will be no Vision Award for Health Care Leadership or Sean L. Casey Distinguished Community Service Award at this year’s event. These awards will return in 2026!
