Lighting Up the Mood

On September 30th, 2024, the day started early, preparing for the annual breast cancer awareness lighting at the Saint John’s Health Center. At the center of planning were Dr. Rebecca Crane-Okada, Program Manager of Cancer Patient Support & Willow Sage Wellness program at the Margie Petersen Breast Center, and Alston Novak, Administrative Coordinator Cancer Support Services & Margie Petersen Breast Center, who once again, delighted friends, family, and co-workers with a festive celebration with music, decorative lighting, and heartfelt stories from guest speakers.
