We extend our heartfelt thanks to the incredible Radiation Oncology therapists at Enloe Health. These professionals are more than just experts in their field—they are a daily source of strength and compassion for our patients.

Because radiation therapy often involves daily treatments for up to eight weeks, our therapists form deep and meaningful connections with the individuals they care for. Patients come to know them well, and in many cases, grow to love them—not just for their skill, but for their kindness and support.

This team exemplifies a high standard of professionalism and quality care. Their dedication ensures that each patient feels seen, cared for, and safe throughout their treatment journey.

We applaud their commitment and celebrate the vital role they play in cancer care. Thank you, Radiation Oncology team — you make a difference every single day.

As we look ahead to the new Enloe Health Gonzales Comprehensive Cancer Center, we pause to honor those who laid the foundation.

Dr. Michael Baird was a visionary whose leadership and dedication were instrumental in the creation of Enloe’s original Cancer Center in 2002. A respected physician, board member and advocate for compassionate care, Dr. Baird championed the idea that our community deserved a place of healing close to home.

Dr. Baird practiced radiation oncology in Chico and at Enloe from 1980 to 2006. During his tenure, he served as Chief of Staff (1989–1991), sat on the Board of Trustees (1991–2004), and chaired the Board (2002–2003). After a brief retirement, he returned in 2011 as Executive Director of the Enloe Regional Cancer Center. He led accreditation efforts and the implementation of the electronic medical record, helping to create a well-integrated cancer program that enhanced patient care.

His legacy lives on in every patient we serve and every life we touch. As we prepare to open the doors to our new Cancer Center, we do so with deep gratitude for Dr. Baird’s enduring impact.

Thank you, Dr. Baird, for helping us build something extraordinary.

Forest Therapy: Nature’s Gentle Healing

Forest Therapy, or Shinrin-yoku, is the practice of mindfully connecting with nature - whether sitting quietly or moving slowly through a natural space. For cancer patients, it offers a peaceful, restorative experience that can:
• Ease stress and anxiety through calming sensory engagement.
• Lift mood and emotional well-being by fostering connection with the natural world.
• Support immune health through exposure to beneficial compounds released by trees.
• Encourage mindfulness and presence, helping reduce mental fatigue.

Even brief moments in nature can nurture peace, hope and healing when dealing with serious illness.

Experience the benefits by joining the Shifting My Perception Forest Therapy session, Oct. 9, 4:30-5:45 p.m., Bidwell Park’s Cedar Grove Picnic Area and Meadow, Chico. The session is free.
It is being facilitated by Emiliano J. Cornejo, certified Association of Nature and Forest Therapy guide and stage 4 cancer survivor.

Survivor tips from Becke Reid, multiple myeloma survivor
I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June 2015. I had my first stem cell transplant at UC Davis in November 2015 and a second stem cell transplant in March 2025. I receive ongoing treatments at the Enloe Health Regional Cancer Center to keep the myeloma controlled.

Having strong support is what gets me through this. My husband and my daughter are the most supportive people that I can think of. They are really there for me – every day, every step. I’m also lucky to have a best friend who is always there when I need her.

What do I do to stay well and to stay positive? Exercise keeps my mind right. I do some exercise at home, but I need my workouts at the gym. What helps is having a commitment to go with my best friend. She joined the gym with me, and being accountable to each other to show up at our designated times really keeps me going.

One thing I’d like people to know: don’t just see me as my cancer. It’s part of my life, but it’s not all of me. Everyone has something they deal with, and this just happens to be mine. I’m doing fine!

Also, watch out for assumptions. Not every woman with cancer has breast cancer. I have multiple myeloma, and it’s a whole different thing—there’s a lot going on that’s nothing like breast cancer. I lost my hair during my stem cell transplant, but I have hair now. That doesn’t mean I’m all better. I still have multiple myeloma. People see the hair and think it’s over—but that’s not always the case.

Going through this has made me realize—you never know what someone’s dealing with. So just be nice and have patience with people.

I’ve always been a pretty positive person and going through this has made me even more focused on appreciating the present. I don’t stress about the future as much—I just try to make the most of what each day brings. I have a little sign that says, “Every day is a gift!” It’s a simple reminder, but an important one when you’re living with cancer.
