There is a new neighbor in the Ward Nine district here in the City of Kingston that many of us don’t know about.It’s the new Cancer Support House on Mary’s Avenue across from Benedictine Hospital.
The newly renovated structure will serve the Oncology Support Program for the hospital as well as offer space for other support groups, art workshops, nutrition and educational programs, meditation and professional services focused on wellness through the Benedictine.
Named the Herbert & Sofia Reuner Cancer Support House, the center will have an open house this Tuesday, April 22nd from 2 to
7pm when the public is welcome to tour the house and enjoy light refreshments.Cancer touches every family. We all have an intimate relationship with Cancer, whether we succumb to the illness or carry on as proud survivors, we and our families all need a support center.
Like other families, my brothers and I have lost two Aunts to cancer and know the suffering within the family all too well. I know you will join me as we all welcome the Support Center to our neighborhood and wish them god speed.
Location is 80 Mary’s Avenue, Kingston, NY
Parking is limited, so feel free to use the Sophie Finn School entrance for additional parking for this event after 3:30 once school is out.
