FHN is proud to celebrate our healthcare providers throughout March. National Doctors' Day is March 30, a chance to acknowledge all that physicians do for their communities.
A spike in the number of cases of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) over the past year has been in the headlines, and it is indeed very scary news.
This is a 1-day class designed to prepare students in grades 6-8 to be safe when they're home alone, watching younger siblings, or babysitting. The Instructor-led class is filled with fun games and role-playing exercises.
Join friends of the FHN Leonard C. Ferguson Cancer Center for taste-tempting treats, live music, and fun at the Food Fight Against Cancer on Friday, April 5th at the Grand River Hall in Freeport!
