The Masonic Cancer Center and M Health Fairview are excited to host Bloom: A Breast Cancer Survivorship Program, on Saturday, February 28, 2026. This free event will be hosted at the Cancer and Cardiovascular Research Building (2231 6th St SE, Minneapolis MN 55455) and focuses on promoting long-term health and well-being to enhance quality of life. Our goal is to empower you to navigate your breast cancer journey with the tools needed to bloom into the next chapter of your life.
Who Should Attend?
At the University of Minnesota, we align with the National Cancer Institute’s definition of survivorship. “An individual is considered a cancer survivor from the time of diagnosis through the balance of life. There are many types of survivors, including those living with cancer and those free of cancer.”
This event is designed for breast cancer survivors at all stages of treatment. The 2026 programming will be especially relevant to younger survivors.
