Fox Chase Cancer Center’s mission of Discovery and Delivery extends well beyond its faculty and staff to include many throughout the community.

Members of the Keith Dawson Foundation visited the Fox Chase-Temple University Hospital Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at TUH-Jeanes Campus in late December to share goodies and spread good cheer to patients, caregivers, and staff.

Every holiday season, Fox Chase Cancer Center’s Tree of Life Celebration brings together patients, families, donors, researchers, and medical staff to pay tribute to all who have been touched by cancer. At this treasured annual event, the community remembers those who have passed, supports those who are living with cancer, and celebrates caregivers and survivors. The celebration features seasonal musical performances, inspirational personal stories, and culminates with the lighting of a beautiful tree in the Fox Chase courtyard.

Art remains a vital part of Fox Chase Cancer Center’s culture. From the symbolic sculpture, The Diamond, greeting visitors outside the main entrance to the shiny little noses of the groundhogs standing at the summit of the cafeteria, Fox Chase is awash in artwork. On nearly every wall and along every corridor is a mix of paintings, sculptures, and historic pieces, some dating back to the early days of the American Oncologic Hospital.

Holiday happenings around Temple Health this year included a festive luncheon attended by members of the Perioperative Care team at Fox Chase Cancer Center.
