The community-based cancer support services provided by Saint Thomas Hospital are anchored through the Dan Rudy Cancer Center, which provides the highest quality of patient care while offering cutting-edge technology to treat a wide range of cancers and benign tumors.

The Foundation supports this commitment to excellence and well-rounded patient care through several programs. The Camp Bluebird Fund supports two 3-night annual camp retreats where adult cancer patients receive support, education and encouragement in living life after a cancer diagnosis. The Dan Rudy Cancer Center Fund supports the work of the cancer center through sponsorships of educational activities for staff, purchase of special equipment and assistance to cancer patients and their family through the Seton Support Center.

"Camp Bluebird is the only place where people truly understand what it's like to have cancer. The doctors don't know everything that you're going through...no one does, except the patients themselves." - a five-time Camp Bluebird attendee
