Each year, the American Cancer Society recognizes survivors, caregivers, and healthcare professionals who have distinguished themselves in our community and have a major impact on the fight against cancer. Our Spirit of Hope Honorees all have an inspirational story to share, are involved in community outreach in the Acadiana area, dedicate efforts to our community, wellness, education, and quality of life, use their story to inspire others, and are among the top in their field due to education, experience, community service, and commitment to a high level of healthcare.
