MEDINA – This year’s For Women Only, sponsored by Orleans Community Health, will honor a longtime nurse, who passed away from cancer.
Darlene Zeliff, who gave more than 40 years of compassionate service, left a lasting impact on the hospital and the community, said Scott Robinson, director of marketing at Orleans Community Health.
For Women Only is an empowering evening focused on cancer education, support, wellness and connection, and will take place June 2 at White Birch Golf Course in Lyndonville, beginning at 5 p.m.
The annual event brings together survivors, caregivers, healthcare professionals, families, and community members for meaningful conversations surrounding cancer awareness, advocacy, treatment, grief, healing and life after diagnosis.
“This year’s event is especially meaningful as we honor Darlene Zeliff,” said Kimberly Gray, chief nursing officer and director of surgical services at Medina Memorial Hospital. “For more than 40 years, Darlene devoted her life to nursing and to this hospital. She represented the very best of nursing through her compassion, quiet leadership and unwavering dedication to her patients, coworkers and community. Her impact on generations of families and healthcare professionals will never be forgotten.”
The evening will feature speakers sharing personal experiences and insights on topics including detection and diagnosis, treatment and health advocacy, moving forward after treatment and grief and loss.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in a panel discussion with healthcare and wellness professionals, visit vendors offering health and cancer support resources and enjoy special features, including basket raffles, networking opportunities and community support connections. There will also be light food served and a cash bar.
Organizers say the goal of the event is to create a welcoming environment where education, encouragement and shared experiences can empower individuals and families affected by cancer.
Community members are encouraged to attend this inspiring evening of education, remembrance and support.
