During October, Navicent Health likes to celebrate breast cancer survivors and raise awareness about mammograms. This year, things will look a little different  because of the COVID-19 pandemic. On Friday, October 2nd, Navicent Health teammates will decorate survivors’ cars before the Care-A-Van parades around Medical Center, Navicent Health.

Car decorating starts at 9 a.m. and the parade begins at 10 a.m. The decorating and parade starts across the Peyton Anderson Cancer Center at 800 1st Street in Macon.
