NewsChannel 13: New St. Mary’s Cancer Treatment Center Opens

People at highest risk for skin cancer include those with red or blonde hair, fair skin, blue or green eyes, pale complexion, and/or a family history of skin cancer, especially melanoma. But everyone should think about sun safety — remember to slip, slap, slop this summer!

The new St. Mary’s Cancer Treatment Center opens in Troy. Funded solely through donations, the center features many unique services and amenities, including chemo rooms specially designed by chemo patients, private infusion suites, an array of integrative wellness programs, a state-of-the-art library, and a convenient retail shop.

The Times Union published a story on the benefit concert for Sock Out Cancer, being held Tuesday, May 8, at Albany’s Palace Theatre. The event will be headlined by William Close and The Earth Harp Collective. Net proceeds will go to the foundations of St. Peter’s Hospital and Albany Medical Center.
