Event attendees included supportive community members, cancer survivors, caregivers, and Mammoth Hospital providers and staff including Karen Phillips, Mammoth Hospital Spiritual Care Coordinator & Elevate Cancer Support Group Facilitator, and Lisa Marusicz, Mammoth Hospital Chemotherapy Infusion Nurse.
