Beiger Mansion

​

It was just 1943 when three local doctors, Dr Stanley Clark, Dr. Dr. Alfred Giordano and Dr. Roscoe Sensenich along with a dedicated group of community members founded The Cancer Society of St. Joseph County with the goal of educating and improving the lives of people living with cancer.

 

Today, 80 years later and now known as RiverBend Cancer Services, the organization is still going strong, supporting those with cancer and encouraging them to live hopeful and productive lives.

 

As we celebrate 80 years of service, we are grateful for the many community members that have dedicated so much to serving those with cancer, including Kate Voelker, this year’s honoree. During her time with RiverBend, Kate’s vision and leadership were essential in turning the dream of a Wellness House into a reality, helping to ensure cancer survivors have a safe and supportive place to call home whenever they might need it.
