CalvertHealth Foundation Hosts 9th Annual Breast Cancer 5K Walk/Run
09/25/2018
The 9
th Annual Breast Cancer 5K will be held on beautiful Solomons Island on October 6. All proceeds benefit the Sheldon E. Goldberg Center for Breast Care. Since opening in 2010, the multidisciplinary breast center offers comprehensive care from outreach and screening to diagnosis, treatment and survivorship. The center brings together in one convenient location a multidisciplinary team of breast health experts with an experienced navigator backed by the latest breast-imaging technology to detect even the most subtle signs of early cancer.
The breast center honors the visionary legacy of Dr. Sheldon Goldberg, the dedicated surgeon who was the driving force behind its creation. Foundation board member Ramona Crowley Goldberg said, “It is heartwarming that so many continue to remember with admiration my late husband, Dr. Sheldon Goldberg. He touched lives with selfless altruism and is certainly MY hero —as he was to countless patients. To me, the CalvertHealth 5K is a tribute to his memory, and is a poignant reminder that we all must be aware of breast cancer and the dire need for a cure. We must also acknowledge that those who have battled, and are now battling the disease, are true warriors.”
