North Shore Cancer Walk postponed
SALEM – Due to the current
unprecedented Covid-19 situation
the North Shore Medical
Center has made the decision
to postpone the North Shore
Cancer WALK, scheduled for
June 28, 2020, to later this year.
Susan Lausier, Senior
Development Officer and
WALK Manager at North Shore
Medical Center issued the following
statement regarding the
WALK postponement:
“We have been monitoring
the ongoing spread of Covid-19,
a completely unparalleled situation
and uncharted territory for
everyone. To protect the health
and safety of our North Shore
community, we have made the
decision to postpone the North
Shore Cancer WALK to later
this year. We are working with
the City of Salem to find a new
date, hopefully in the early fall,
and will let you know as soon as
that date has been confirmed.”
“The Walk is very important
to our community and has benefited
thousands of patients
over the past 30 years. We are
unbelievably thankful for our
walkers, sponsors, volunteers
and everyone associated with
this event.”
The postponement reflects
the reality that many walkers
and their teams were forced
to postpone their fundraising
events due to coronavirus. These
decisions prompted Walk organizers
to extend the fundraising
deadline for this year’s Walk to
Dec. 31 (as opposed to August
31) to allow plenty of time to reschedule
fundraisers if desired.
Although postponement is
an extremely difficult decision
to make, safety and health is of
utmost importance. During this
time of social distancing, please
stay connected with your loved
ones and keep yourself safe.

Mine does. That's Bella my virtual cat from
Element Care PACE. We're best friends. We play
games, listen to music and exercise together.
Bella reminds me about a lot of things like when
to take my meds and when my ride is coming.
And my Bella keeps me connected to my care
team when I'm not seeing them at the Element
every day. Element Care provides everything you
need to remain healthy and independent. And it's
FREE* if you qualify for Medicare and
MassHealth. Everyone should have great
healthcare and a best friend like I do.
