Happy National Nursing Assistants Week! 💛

Thank you to our amazing Nursing Assistants for your dedication and compassion in supporting our patients throughout their cancer journeys. You are a vital part of our care team, and we are grateful for everything you do!

Today is Cancer Survivors Day 💙

Chances are, you know someone who has survived cancer. In the United States alone, one out of every three people is expected to receive a cancer diagnosis during their lifetime. Currently, about 18.6 million Americans are living as cancer survivors and that number is expected to climb to 22.4 million over the next decade.

Cancer Survivors: we are inspired by your resilience and honored to be a part of your journey. Today, we celebrate survivorship, the support of our family, friends, and caregivers, and the hope of thriving after cancer.

Check out the National Cancer Survivors Day's website for more information on celebrations happening today and support resources you can use all year long: https://hubs.li/Q04knNT70

❤️ Patient Story ❤️

Patient: Leland Martin
AON Partner Practice: Oncology Hematology Associates

Leland Martin was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in February 2024. Under the care of AON partner practice, OHA Clinic - Advanced Cancer Care in Springfield, Missouri, Leland underwent three months of chemotherapy followed by Whipple surgery, then an additional five months of chemotherapy.

Everyone deals with cancer in their own way, but when you’re a retired country music singer, writing a song about the experience is as natural as breathing.

Leland Martin’s song, “Fight to Survive,” was inspired by his sisters, who showed their support during chemotherapy by having T-shirts made with his picture and featuring the slogan. The song was released to streaming platforms last May, and a video was released on YouTube in September.
