Candlelight Capers on Dec. 12
"In The Spotlight"
Started by the hospital's volunteer Auxiliary group medical residents to meet and socialize with attending physicians, Candlelight Capers is now led by the Friends of Good Sam, a volunteer committee of hospital staff, community volunteers, physicians and physicians' spouses.
This year, the Candlelight Capers Leadership team of Event Chairs Ms. Suzanne Coyne and Dr. John Hensing, Honorary Chairs Drs. Barry and Rita Hendin, and Vice Chairs Dr. and Mrs. Alfredo and Georgia Niño invite you to attend the 2009 Candlelight Capers Ball, to be held at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa on Saturday, Dec. 12.
With this event, we hope to raise funds for the early detection, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. State-of-the-art medical technologies, including tools like breast-dedicated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, have been invaluable in the fight against breast cancer. Money raised at this year’s event will provide for better screening services at the Laura Dreier Breast Center.

The Laura Dreier Breast Center provides many breast cancer specialists in one space, which improves physician collaboration and convenience for patients. Our patients have a streamlined process unprecedented in this community.
