MANY THANKS! Our gratitude goes out to everyone who contributed to make this year’s art exhibit, Cancer: Making Every Heartbeat Count at CityArtsFactory in Orlando a great success. Thank you to all the patient artists, their friends and families, who showed their creativity in this amazing celebration of art from the heart - with over 100 pieces on display. Some patients decided to put their artwork for sale and donate the funds back to the Arts in Medicine program to make sure that this program continues for other patients. Folks from around the world visited the exhibit and 8 paintings were purchased – one painting will be going back to a new home in England!

Thanks also go out to everyone who made the National Cancer Survivors Day Picnic on 6/5/16 such an enormous success. Collaborators from around Central Florida joined the Cancer Support Community to make an event-packed day for all cancer survivors in our area. Local government officials were on hand to make the proclamation that this day would be to honor all cancer survivors. Over 200 people visited the event, and enjoyed the many activities including tai chi, gardening, live music, caricatures, raffles, and picnic!

Staying Cool in the Summer Heat!

Florida is famous for its sunshine, but summer temperatures can soar making it more difficult to cope with some of the symptoms and side effects from cancer and its treatment. Fatigue often rises with the intense heat and humidity, so the following few tips may help you retain some energy. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day, as you may be at an increased risk for dehydration and sunburn as a result of treatment or medication side effects. Use sunscreen with SPF of 30 or more if you must be exposed to direct sunlight and wear protective clothing and hats. Don’t forget your sunglasses — this is important for your eye health and will lessen headaches due to squinting.

Choose early morning and evening hours to walk or exercise even if you can only do a little. Even though it seems counter-intuitive, there is strong research evidence that staying active will lessen your cancer fatigue, so it is still important to continue to gently exercise. Wear loose fitting, cotton-based clothing that will help to keep your body cool and dry. When enjoying time outside, choose a shady spot such as a screened porch or under an umbrella. Use a light moisturizer to keep skin hydrated and protected. Cool down with tepid showers and frequent breaks for water if you are out gardening or exercising. Keep your meals fresh and light - choose summer fruits and vegetables such as melons, peaches, pears, cucumbers and tomatoes. Enjoy fruit sorbet or smoothies for extra cool treats!

Thank You!Our program of support services, wellness, education, social connections, information assistance, and referral is provided free of charge thanks to the amazing efforts

of caring and supportive individuals and companies dedicated to help fight the battle against cancer and ease the burden of all those whose lives have been impacted.


Co-founded by Elaine Lustig and Sheila Solomon in 1993, Women Playing For T.I.M.E.® is a volunteer organization dedicated to making a positive impact on women facing cancer. Since its inception, WPFT has raised over $10 million through signature golf

and tennis tournaments and a variety of other events throughout the year. Funds directly benefit cancer Technology, Immediate diagnosis, Mammography,

and Education (T.I.M.E.) at UF Health Cancer Center – Orlando Health.

Did you know that community-owned hospitals provide 95 percent of all vital but often unprofitable

health services? As Central Florida’s only community-owned hospital, Orlando Health reinvests all available

revenues into programs, equipment, facilities, and medical staff. Since 1918, we have been committed to providing the best quality healthcare for our region

and citizens. The Orlando Health Foundation is proud to honor the 1918 Society - an association of individuals deeply interested in the strategic priorities of Orlando

Health and in ensuring the availability of quality healthcare services. Members make philanthropic gifts to help provide leading-edge patient care and services, fund critical expansion needs and purchase the latest technology and equipment – all of which are vital to keeping pace with our community’s growing needs

and the rapid advances in medicine.

Thank You!Our program of support services, wellness, education, social connections, information assistance, and referral is provided free of charge thanks to the amazing efforts

of caring and supportive individuals and companies dedicated to help fight the battle against cancer and ease the burden of all those whose lives have been impacted.


Co-founded by Elaine Lustig and Sheila Solomon in 1993, Women Playing For T.I.M.E.® is a volunteer organization dedicated to making a positive impact on women facing cancer. Since its inception, WPFT has raised over $10 million through signature golf

and tennis tournaments and a variety of other events throughout the year. Funds directly benefit cancer Technology, Immediate diagnosis, Mammography,

and Education (T.I.M.E.) at UF Health Cancer Center – Orlando Health.

Did you know that community-owned hospitals provide 95 percent of all vital but often unprofitable

health services? As Central Florida’s only community-owned hospital, Orlando Health reinvests all available

revenues into programs, equipment, facilities, and medical staff. Since 1918, we have been committed to providing the best quality healthcare for our region

and citizens. The Orlando Health Foundation is proud to honor the 1918 Society - an association of individuals deeply interested in the strategic priorities of Orlando

Health and in ensuring the availability of quality healthcare services. Members make philanthropic gifts to help provide leading-edge patient care and services, fund critical expansion needs and purchase the latest technology and equipment – all of which are vital to keeping pace with our community’s growing needs

and the rapid advances in medicine.
