Maria Parham Health Honors Cancer Survivors at Western Dinner
Cancer survivors in Henderson, North Carolina will be celebrated at a special Western-themed dinner on May 15, featuring Duck Dynasty family member Lisa Robertson as keynote speaker. The free event recognizes the courage and resilience of those who've faced cancer and won.
Maria Parham Health is throwing a party for the real champions in their community, and the guest list is made of survivors.
On Thursday, May 15 at 6 p.m., the hospital will host a Western-themed Cancer Survivor Dinner at South Henderson Pentecostal Holiness Church on 905 America Road. The evening honors the strength and journeys of cancer survivors across Henderson, North Carolina.
Lisa Robertson, daughter-in-law of Duck Dynasty's Phil and Kay Robertson, will deliver the keynote address. Married to oldest son Alan Robertson for more than 30 years, Lisa co-authored "The Women of Duck Commander" and has spent over 15 years sharing her powerful life-change testimony at churches and marriage retreats nationwide.
"We are truly honored to welcome Lisa Robertson as our keynote speaker for this special evening," said Bert Beard, CEO of Maria Parham Health. "Her story of faith, perseverance and hope aligns beautifully with the journeys of our cancer survivors."
The dinner serves a purpose beyond the meal. It creates a space where survivors can gather with loved ones, share fellowship, and receive recognition for battles fought and won.
The Ripple Effect
Events like this remind entire communities that cancer doesn't define people, it reveals their strength. When hospitals shift from just treating illness to celebrating survival, they acknowledge something crucial: healing includes joy, connection, and being seen.
Each survivor attending represents countless hospital visits, difficult treatments, and moments of fear transformed into hope. By bringing them together, Maria Parham Health creates a network of encouragement that extends far beyond one dinner.
The Western theme adds a touch of fun to the celebration, turning what could be a somber reflection into a lively gathering. Survivors can bring one guest to share in the festivities, ensuring that the people who walked alongside them through treatment get to celebrate too.
Seating is limited, and advance registration is required by May 8. Survivors and their guests can register by calling 252-436-6485.
This dinner isn't just about looking back at what survivors overcame, it's about celebrating the life they're living now.
