Ronald Steis, MD Recognized by American Cancer Society

            North Fulton Hospital would like to congratulate Dr. Ron Steis for his recent recognition by the American Cancer Society.  A respected Medical Oncologist, Dr. Steis was recognized as the Medical Honoree at the 2011 Evening of Hope event held this month.

            Dr. Steis was selected for this honor for the work he does for cancer patients in our community.  He currently serves as the head of North Fulton Hospital’s Cancer Committee, contributing not only to his patients in his private practice but also to all of those in the hospital through his involvement with the multidisciplinary group.

            The American Cancer Society’s Evening of Hope is a gala intended to raise funds for the organization and honor local cancer survivors and medical professionals that continuously work to give hope.  This is but one of many events hosted by ACS that seek to spread awareness and contribute to cancer research.  The ACS also hosts annual Relay for Life events throughout various towns across the country.  North Fulton Hospital has proudly supported the Roswell area Relay for Life event for many years, serving as the presenting sponsor.  The hospital looks forward to participating in this event on Friday, April 29^th at Roswell High School.  Learn more at www.Relay.org, and make plans to walk with the North Fulton Hospital team!
