Community & Outreach
Waterbury Area ThyCa Group
The Thyroid Cancer Survivors’ Association, Inc., or ThyCa, is a nonprofit organization serving patients, families, and health care professionals worldwide since 1995. Only two facilities in Connecticut host ThyCa support groups, including the Leever Cancer Center.
Legacy of Giving
J. Robert and Mary H. Farr were generous in life and, in passing, secured their legacy of giving. Their bequest to Leever will be used to establish “The J. Robert & Mary H. Farr Navigation Center” at The Harold Leever Regional Cancer Center.
A Community of Caring
The strength and generosity of the community that surrounds us warm our hearts. We’re grateful to everyone who gives of their time, talent, and financial resources to support the important mission of the Leever Cancer Center.
Self-Care, Right Here
What stress management tools are in your personal toolbox? As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive cancer support services to our patients and their families, the Leever Cancer Center offers a “Building Your Self-Care Toolbox” program.
Healing Art
An art show featuring masterpieces by Leever patients was held on November 8. Supplies were made available by a gift from the Pescetelli Family to remember and honor Lia Pescetelli, a self-taught and passionate artist.
Tennis Bash: Serving Up Awareness
In the spirit of giving, the Leever Cancer Center supported a September “Tennis Bash,” sponsored by and benefiting “Are You Dense?”— a phenomenal nonprofit changing our understanding of what it means to have dense breast tissue.
Honoring Those Who Care
The story of The Harold Leever Cancer Center is a story about people — patients, families, caregivers, doctors, nurses, administrators and, of course, its volunteers, who were recently celebrated at a luncheon hosted by the American Cancer Society and the Leever Cancer Center.
