Cancer survivorship is a testament to human strength, resilience, and hope. It’s not just about living with courage through cancer, but about celebrating life every step of the way. 

Every survivor’s story is unique, showcasing extraordinary strength and hope. This blog honors the journeys of survivors, celebrates milestones, and acknowledges the supportive communities that uplift them along the way. 

How Survivors Celebrate Their Journey

Survivors find heartfelt ways to mark their journeys, from remission anniversaries to small, everyday joys like sharing a meal or watching a sunrise. Many join awareness events, engage in art, or simply savor moments of gratitude and reflection. These traditions symbolize celebration and inspire hope, strength, and beauty.

The Role of Loved Ones in Survivorship

Friends and family play an important role in a survivor’s life. Whether offering a hug, lending an ear, or helping with daily tasks, their care and support create a foundation of strength and reassurance. Small acts of love can make a big difference. 

Finding Joy in Celebration 

Celebrations, big or small, offer survivors a chance to reflect and connect. Through shared stories, laughter, and milestones, these moments honor the challenges overcome and inspire hope for the future.  

Whether a Survivor, Loved One or Supporter—Join the Celebration

Survivorship shows how strong and resilient people can be, not just in June when it’s celebrated, but every day. By sharing stories and challenges, we build a supportive community filled with strength and hope. Together, we can create a united community rooted in strength and hope that lasts a lifetime. 

What does survivorship mean to you? Every story matters—share yours and join the conversation!

As an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine, Dr. Lisa Kaplin shares practical steps to support your ACL recovery, rebuild strength to get you back to the activities you love, and stay motivated along the way.

Take Recovery One Step at a Time

Recovering from an ACL injury is a marathon, not a sprint. It takes patience and consistency. If surgery is part of the plan, pre-hab can prepare your body by strengthening muscles and improving joint mobility, setting you up for better post-surgery recovery.

Healing Takes Patience

After surgery, your body needs time to heal. Start with simple exercises to reduce swelling and improve movement, then gradually build up to strength and balance work. Trust your therapist and stick to your rehab plan.

Build Strength, One Step at a Time 

Strengthening your leg muscles, especially the quadriceps and hamstrings, is key to stabilizing your knee. Low-impact exercises like cycling or swimming can boost fitness without overloading your joint. 

Stay Positive 

Recovery is as much mental as it is physical. Set small goals, celebrate progress, and use visualization techniques—like mentally rehearsing your time back on the field or court—to stay focused on getting back to the activities you love.

Every improvement, like better movement or completing therapy exercises, is a win. Lean on your support team when needed to push through tough times.

Fuel Your Comeback

Recovery isn’t just about rehab exercises. Nutrition matters. Eating a balanced diet rich in lean proteins, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats helps repair tissues and fight inflammation. Staying hydrated is equally important, especially during physical therapy. Your body needs fluids to recover and staying hydrated gives you stamina to power through the rebuilding process.

Get Back to Play Safely 

Returning to your sport is the ultimate goal, but it’s important to make sure you’re fully healed first. Your doctor and therapist will check your strength and stability before giving you the all-clear. Sports-specific training can also help you regain confidence and get ready for game day.

Be patient with yourself. Restoring your ACL isn’t just about physical recovery but also regaining trust in your body. Take the time to rebuild that confidence so you can return to action without hesitation. 

Remember, You've Got This!

Recovering from an ACL injury isn’t easy, but it’s a chance to grow your strength and resilience. Take it one step at a time, and believe in your ability to come back stronger.

Your comeback isn’t just a goal—it’s a reminder of how strong and capable you truly are.

MEADOWBROOK, PA – May 1, 2025 — Holy Redeemer Hospital earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group for the twelfth consecutive scoring season. The hospital was notified that it is one of only 10 hospitals in Pennsylvania to score an “A” every scoring season since fall 2019. Fewer than 5% of hospitals nationwide have scored an “A” every season since fall 2019.

“Being a leader in patient safety is always a hospital’s goal,” said Peter J. Adamo, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer at Holy Redeemer Hospital. “But achieving an A-grade in patient safety a dozen times in a row represents our team’s ongoing expectation to deliver safe care. Maintaining high scores in categories like preventing harmful events, safe medication administration, and effective leadership in preventing errors over a long period of time reflects the culture of safety that we insist on here.”

According to The Leapfrog Group, out of nearly 3,000 hospitals across the country, only 12% are designated “Straight A” status, like Holy Redeemer Hospital. Only one in eight hospitals sustained an A-grade for more than two years.

“Our continued success in patient safety is celebrated at Holy Redeemer Hospital,” said Patient Safety Officer Krzysztof Stypulkowski, DNP, MBA, RN. “This level of high performance is evidence of the focus and responsiveness we see from everyone, every day.” Stypulkowski explained that Holy Redeemer Hospital also earned high scores in preventing MRSA infections, urinary tract infections and sepsis after surgery, as well as staff working together to prevent errors, and of course handwashing. 

Stypulkowski accepted Holy Redeemer Hospitals recognition as a top Leapfrog performer from the Greater Philadelphia Business Coalition on Health (GPBCH) this week. GPBCH recognizes Leapfrog leaders in southeastern Pennsylvania and Delaware.

The Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit organization that assigns safety grades to hospitals across the country based on more than 30 measures of errors, accidents, injuries and infections as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually. 

“Patient safety is a relentless, never-ending quest to put patients first,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO, The Leapfrog Group. “That’s why Leapfrog is highlighting the hospitals across the U.S. that have earned Straight A’s for over two years. Sustaining an A over multiple years reflects a deep-rooted commitment to patient safety.” 

To see Holy Redeemer Hospital’s full grade details and to access patient tips for staying safe in the hospital, visit Leapfrog’s Hospital Safety Grade and read the Leapfrog newsletter on social media.

Menopause is a natural part of life, usually occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. While it’s normal, it can bring changes like hot flashes and mood shifts that may disrupt daily life. The good news? There are ways to manage these symptoms and thrive through this transition. 

What is Menopause? 

Menopause happens when a woman’s menstrual cycle ends, confirmed after going 12 months without having one. This happens as the ovaries produce less estrogen and progesterone—the hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle. Most women go through menopause in their late 40s or early 50s, though it can happen earlier due to genetics, surgery, or certain medical treatments. 

Physical Changes and Symptoms

The physical changes of menopause are often the most noticeable—bringing changes like hot flashes and night sweats. You may also notice weight gain or changes in body shape. Less commonly, you may notice joint pain, headaches, or changes in your hair and skin. 

Hormonal Shifts and Their Impact 

As estrogen levels drop, you might notice mood swings, anxiety, trouble concentrating, or struggles with sleep that leave you feeling drained. Physical discomfort, like dryness, or shifts in energy and emotions are also common. Menopause doesn’t just change your body; it can also affect your emotions. It’s common to feel sad, worried, or frustrated, especially if you’re also dealing with life other challenges like career changes, caring for aging parents, or empty nesting.

Supportive Strategies for Successfully Navigating Menopause 

• Lifestyle Changes. Regular exercise not only helps control weight but also boosts your mood and strengthens your bones. Adding weight-bearing exercises, such as walking or yoga, protect against bone loss.
• Healthy Eating. Consumer a balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and healthy fats. Small changes, like cutting back on caffeine or spicy foods, can reduce hot flashes. And don’t underestimate the importance of sticking to a sleep schedule—create a calming bedtime routine and try relaxation techniques like meditation.
• Medical Options. Hormone Replacement Therapy can help some women manage menopause symptoms by replacing hormones and easing issues like hot flashes while supporting bone health. It’s not for everyone, so it’s important to discuss this option with your health care provider to see if it’s right for you.
• Non-hormonal Treatments. If you prefer not to use hormones, treatments like moisturizers, lubricants, or certain medicines can help ease menopause symptoms. Talk with your doctor to find what works best for you.

Thriving After Menopause 

Menopause marks a new chapter, offering countless opportunities to rediscover yourself. It’s the perfect time to try out new hobbies, build deeper connections with loved ones, and focus on what brings you joy! Embrace the change—this is your time to thrive, grow, and truly shine!

Spring brings warmer weather, inviting us outside to enjoy activities like running, cycling, golf, tennis, or the increasingly popular pickleball. It’s the perfect season to stay active. But with more activity comes an increased risk of injury, especially from overuse or aggravating existing joint pain.

From common sports injuries to tips on prevention and innovative treatments to help you stay pain-free, this article will cover everything you need to know to enjoy the season with ease.

The Risk of Overuse Injuries

While resuming or ramping up physical activity is great for your health, it’s important to remember that your body may still be in “winter mode.” A sudden surge in activity can lead to overuse injuries, which occur when repetitive movements put stress on your muscles, tendons, and joints.

Common springtime activities that can lead to overuse injuries include, but aren’t limited to: 

• Running or jogging (e.g., shin splints, Achilles tendinitis, runner’s knee)
• Cycling (e.g., knee pain and lower back pain from long rides or poor bike posture)
• Golfing (e.g., golfer’s elbow, low back strain)
• Tennis and pickleball (e.g., tennis elbow, rotator cuff injuries, plantar fasciitis)

Recognizing the early signs of these injuries, such as pain, swelling, or stiffness can prevent them from becoming more severe.

Tips for Injury Prevention 

With a bit of planning, you can get back to enjoying your favorite sport in no time. Follow these practical tips to keep your body strong and your risk of pain low as you get back to doing what you love: 

• Start slow and build gradually: “Start low and go slow” is a fundamental tenant of injury prevention. Ease into your chosen sport with shorter sessions and gradually increase intensity and duration. This will allow your body time to adapt.
• Warm up and cool down: A proper warm-up improves blood flow to muscles and joints, reducing the risk of strains or tears. Stretching after exercise can also help decrease soreness and improve flexibility.
• Gear up the right way: Choose well-fitted running shoes, a properly adjusted bike, or a racket with the correct grip size to minimize unnecessary strain on your joints. The Philadelphia area is home to many different running and cycling shops who are happy to fit you into optimized gear.
• Master your technique: Whether it’s your running stride or your golf swing, proper form helps reduce unnecessary stress on your joints and muscles. Take lessons or seek expert advice to refine your movements. When in doubt, you can always take a video of yourself or look in a mirror while training to ensure your form doesn’t break down at full speed or at higher repetitions.
• Give your body a breather: Pushing too hard can fast-track you to injury. Rest days are vital for recovery and rebuilding. Soreness or pain often mean that it’s time to take a break.
• Build strength, avoid injury: Strengthening the muscles that support your joints is key to staying injury-free. A strong core safeguards your lower back, while upper body exercises ease the strain on shoulders and elbows during sports like tennis or golf.

Even with the best care, joint pain or injuries can still happen. When they do, there are many treatments that can help you feel better and move more easily. 

Game-Changing Treatment Options for Joint Pain

From exercise programs to advanced techniques, below are just a few ways to relieve joint pain and get back to doing what you enjoy: 

• Physical therapy can help strengthen the muscles around your joints, improving static and dynamic stability and reducing pain through simple exercises and guided movements.
• Depending on your condition, options like corticosteroid injections for inflammation or hyaluronic acid injections for lubrication in arthritic joints can provide significant relief. These options are accurate, minimally invasive, and can provide fast relief.
• Ultrasound-guided injections offer a highly precise treatment for joint pain and injuries by using real-time imaging to deliver medication directly to the affected area. This procedure provides targeted relief while leading to better overall results, with minimal discomfort.
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy accelerates the healing process, reducing pain, and supporting recovery by using your body’s natural growth factors to repair injuries and manage chronic conditions effectively.
• Minimally invasive procedures like arthroscopy can also fix joint problems with a small incision and less recovery time than traditional surgery.

Get Back to What You Love This Spring 

Don’t let pain or an injury keep you on the sidelines. With the right care and preparation, you can enjoy every hike, game, or run this season has to offer.

Here’s to getting out, staying active, and feeling your best!

Bobbie discovered her strength and reclaimed her life while healing from breast cancer.

At age 58, Roberta (Bobbie) Ruskowski was vigilant about getting her routine screenings. This was the year for a regular mammogram and colonoscopy. With no family history of cancer, and after nursing eight children early in life, she never suspected a problem. 

Shortly after her mammogram in early October, her doctor requested repeat imaging, which she quickly scheduled. The imaging in fact turned out to be concerning and she was able to get an expedited appointment the very next day for a biopsy. 

Bobbie cleared her calendar and went for the biopsy, as ordered.  Two days later, she received the shocking news that she had breast cancer.

Her world changed in an instant and her head was spinning, but Bobbie acted quickly.  

She met with Dr. Anna Mazor, Breast Surgeon at Redeemer Health Cancer Center, along with a team of oncologists, the reconstructive and plastic surgeon, nurse navigators, geneticists, lymphedema therapists, and others who would coordinate her care.

Bobbie appreciated how seamlessly her appointments were arranged, allowing her to meet with every physician on her care team in a single day. Every question was answered. Every concern was addressed. When she met with Dr. Sheen Jain, Medical Director of Radiation Oncology and Executive Director, Redeemer Health Cancer Center, Bobbie felt certain that she was in capable hands.

From that first day, Bobbie felt an overwhelming sense of empathy and compassion, putting her at ease. Every doctor she met held her hands in comfort, encouraging her not to be fearful. There wasn't a doubt she'd be treated with respect and confidence throughout her healing journey. 

With it being such an important life decision, Bobbie sought a second opinion. That experience felt much less personal and the proposed treatment plan just wasn’t sitting right with her.

Bobbie knew deep down, the path she was being called to follow. Trusting her heart, listening to her inner voice, and feeling a connection with everyone she met, Bobbie chose Redeemer Health Cancer Center.

Twenty days before Christmas, Bobbie returned home (same day) after a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. In addition to the support of her eight siblings, one being her twin sister, Bobbie also leaned on her eight children, her husband, her friends, her neighbors, and her community. Redeemer Health Home Care also arranged for a visiting nurse, which gave her added comfort when she needed it most. 

Bobbie never looked back. Having undergone the double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery followed by chemotherapy, this allowed doctors to confirm five spots (instead of two, as originally suspected). Doctors were also able to tailor her chemotherapy and radiation treatments to target the exact types of tumors she had.  

With so many family members close by at all different stages of life, Bobbie and her husband are blessed with endless opportunities for joyful family celebrations – none of which she wanted to miss.

Cancer wouldn’t get in her way. Bobbie’s nurse navigator was able to synchronize all of her appointments on the same day. And her medical oncologist planned her treatments so that she would be able to attend her son’s bridal shower in January and shortly after, make memories at his wedding in March. By June, while undergoing radiation therapy, Bobbie watched with pride as her youngest graduated high school and weeks later, went off to college.  

“Faith over fear” remains Bobbie’s mantra, providing her with strength and clarity in every aspect of her life. Combined with the love and encouragement of everyone in her support system, this is what got her through. If she had pain, or felt her confidence wavering, she would go outside and get fresh air. 

One night, her children surprised her by taking her out for a walk in the neighborhood. Within minutes, Bobbie felt an overwhelming sense of joy and emotion as they pointed out that her entire neighborhood was lit up in pink, including the church across the street, in support of her breast cancer recovery.

Bobbie finished her last immunotherapy treatment over one year ago. As she reflects on her experience, she can honestly say that she was grateful for every bit of care she received from Redeemer Health Cancer Center. With her nurse navigator, radiation therapists, infusion nurses, and others by her side, she knew she would always get the attention, compassion, and hope she needed along the way.

At the recommendation of her care team, Bobbie remains committed to nurturing her emotional well-being, engaging in self-care practices offered by Redeemer Health to support her long-term healing, recovery, and survivorship.

Guided by courage, faith, and the nurturing love of family, friends, and community, Bobbie was able to reclaim her life and find a strength she never knew she had.
