In the hospital, employees and visitors wear the yellow ribbon, a symbol of solidarity and support. “Just like the ribbon, you don’t carry cancer alone,” the organization says.
Throughout the day, patients are pampered with all kinds of relaxing activities. Volunteer beauty consultants offer massages, pedicures and facials. In the afternoon a bingo game afternoon is planned, with great prizes, coffee and cake. “We especially want to encourage fun, relaxation and contact between fellow sufferers,” says SJKI.
