2024 SEEDS OF HOPE
Join us for our Free Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara/San Jose Cancer Survivors Day conference and celebration.
Kaiser Permanente San Jose and Santa Clara are excited to host the 12th Annual Seeds of Hope/Cancer Survivors Day event on Sunday, June 9th, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. at the Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center, located at 710 Lawrence Expressway, Santa Clara, CA 95051.
This year, Seeds of Hope will be offering more than 50 educational booths and activities centered around our theme: “Nourish Your Heart, Empower Your Brain, Transform Your Future.” This event provides an opportunity for our members, along with their families, caregivers, and support community, to help our survivors prepare, recover, and celebrate life after cancer treatment, as well as reduce the risk of recurrence.
Learn how this all relates through the lens of metabolic health. We will focus on how to:
- Achieve metabolic health and longevity through nutritional choices.
- Slow down memory loss from the aging process of cancer and its treatments
- Reduce the stress that impacts cardiometabolic health and cancer.
- Take a closer look at the environmental chemical exposure on cancer risk and heart health through a panel discussion regarding our drinking water.
- Empower lasting behavioral changes with unlocking a change in mindset.
Engage our experts at the educational booths and activities to:
- Leverage integrative medicine resources for management and prevention of symptoms.
- Make your own toxin free consumer products and food with cooking demos, all on a budget.
- Educate your children now to stop the rise of early onset cancer and related cardiometabolic diseases at the Kids Zone
- Donate your hair, move with dance and Tai-Chi, balance and stretch with Yoga and more.
Learn from at least 50 educational booths, activities, and workshops at this free, fun day for you, your family, and friends.
We hope to see you there!”
