The Myeloma Center social workers held a Thanksgiving Party for the patients in F7! Delicious snacks were provided and the party included several lively rounds of bingo with great prizes. Leah Goldsholl, Myeloma Center social work intern, was the bingo caller. Patients also participated in a game of Thanksgiving trivia. Everyone had a great time and also learned a few historical facts about the Thanksgiving holiday. The patients shared how much they enjoyed the party to various members of our staff. Well done!
