A local man who has overcome neck and head cancer, a Sparrow Herbert-Herman Cancer Center Oncologist, and Delta Dental’s Chief Science Officer will be available to talk to reporters.
Where: Lobby of Sparrow Herbert-Herman Cancer Center, 1140 E. Michigan Avenue, Lansing.
When: Monday, April 9, noon.
