Cancer Center Team Surprises Patients and Families with Holiday Gifts

Staff members of The Cancer Center at Shore Regional Health provided Christmas gifts for cancer patients and their family patients in need this holiday season. “We touched 28 families with surprise gift items ranging therapeutic weighted blankets to pet food, household items, clothing and accessories (such as a sports team sweatshirt and a replacement for a ripped wallet), or a special gift for their child or grandchild that they could not afford due to lost work time during their cancer treatment,” explains Patty Plaskon, oncology social worker at the Cancer Center.

Another 25 Cancer Center patients received Christmas hams and other food items provided by members of First Baptist Church in Easton, who delivered the items to the Center on Saturday, December 15, 2018.
