Haymarket Iceplex to host Hockey Fights Cancer tournament fundraiser on Jan. 6, 2024

Haymarket Adult Hockey League: “In January and February of 2024, our League is supporting the 25th anniversary of the Hockey Fights Cancer initiative. Hockey Fights Cancer is a partnership between the National Hockey League and the American Cancer Society.”

“We are holding a fundraiser event on January 6, 2024. It is a 3v3 Pond Hockey-style tournament in which 10 teams will participate. One team is coming all the way from Roanoke to join us! We also have Hockey Fights Cancer (HFC) designated games for each of the 22 teams in our league. These cancer awareness games will celebrate cancer survivors and raise donated funds for the American Cancer Society’s mission to save lives from cancer.”

“We also have a merchandise store where more than $5 goes to the American Cancer Society for each t-shirt/hoodie purchased. And we have a specific fundraising page for anyone that wants to donate directly.”

“Together, the hockey community looks to inspire hope and courage for all people who are living with, going through, and moving past cancer. This season, Hockey Fights Cancer will benefit the American Cancer Society’s patient services programs, such as Reach To Recovery®, which provides people facing breast cancer with one-on-one support from a trained volunteer who is also a breast cancer survivor.”

“Venue: Haymarket Iceplex, 15155 Washington St., Haymarket, VA 20169″

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”

Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
