We’re continuing to share stories from our patients in celebration of National Cancer Survivors Day. Read below about Aaron B.’s battle with prostate cancer, and join us in thanking him for sharing his story! To see more of his journey and learn about cancer care at MedStar Health, please visit http://ms.spr.ly/6043YYQA5. “In October of 2022, at the age of 66, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, which runs in my family. My urologist recommended I see Dr. Jonathan Hwang, chair of Urologic Oncology and Robotic Prostatectomy at MedStar Georgetown Cancer Institute at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, who is noted for his extensive experience performing minimally invasive robotic surgery. “I set up an appointment with Dr. Hwang, and am so glad I did. The care I received made all the difference. In fact, just three weeks after surgery, I was back in the gym to resume my training as a senior bodybuilder.” #NationalCancerSurvivorsDay #CancerSurvivor

In honor of the 37th Annual National Cancer Survivors Day, we’re taking time to recognize cancer survivors, raise awareness of the ongoing challenges they face—and, most importantly—celebrate life. This is an opportunity for everyone with a history of #cancer to connect with each other and recognize those who have supported them along the way. 🤝 We’ll be sharing stories of hope and encouragement from some of our patients throughout the month of June. We’re grateful to William B., lymphoma cancer survivor, for sharing his story below. For more information about cancer care at MedStar Health, please visit MedStarHealth.org/Cancer. “My cancer journey started with what I thought was a pulled back muscle. When the pain progressed, I saw an orthopaedic surgeon who discovered that my L5 was crushed. But even after that was repaired, the pain persisted. I couldn’t walk any longer. This led to another CT scan, which revealed something that did not look right. “I was referred to an oncologist at MedStar Health and diagnosed with diffuse large B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. After radiation and chemotherapy, my cancer is now in remission. I am very appreciative of the providers who cared for and continue to care for me at MedStar Health.” #NationalCancerSurvivorsDay #CancerSurvivor

“A communal event to celebrate the coming of miracles into our world.” As #MaternalHealthAwarenessMonth comes to a close, we recognize the tremendous work of MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center and Clinton Baptist Church on their first Community Baby Shower and Resource Fair! Together, we celebrated new and expectant mothers by sharing life-saving resources and strengthening the supportive safety net that we hope will lead to a lower maternal and infant mortality rate in Prince George’s County. This event is just one example of how we are working to tackle maternal health disparities by addressing medical and non-medical needs in all of our communities. Check out this recap video to see what we mean! #MedStarHealthProud #TreatPeople
