“Wellness in Action: Closing the Care Gap Together”
Philadelphia, PA — The Byrd Cancer Education & Advocacy Foundation proudly announces the return of the All Things Cancer + Wellness Expo on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Center City, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Now in its third year, the All Things Cancer + Wellness Expo has become one of Philadelphia’s most impactful community health events—uniting survivors, caregivers, healthcare professionals, advocates, and the public in a shared mission to advance cancer education, prevention, and holistic wellness.

The 2026 Expo will highlight the power of education, advocacy, and community collaboration in transforming awareness into meaningful action.
“Our focus this year is on tangible impact,” said Trudean Haye, Executive Director of the Byrd Cancer Foundation. “Wellness in Action means creating space for learning, access, and empowerment—ensuring everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, can take meaningful steps toward better health. Closing the care gap isn’t just an idea; it’s a responsibility we share.”
