When Luis Alberto Valle Melgar learned he had prostate cancer in June 2025, his world shifted instantly. The diagnosis alone was overwhelming but it quickly became more complex. The cancer had already spread to his bones and lungs. Not long after, he received a second, separate diagnosis: melanoma on his heel. Two distinct cancers. One life-changing journey.

When a simple invitation turns into something meaningful, it often reveals the power of connection. That is exactly what happened when Goshen Center for Cancer Care partnered with Bowen Health’s Transitional Living Harbours program to grow the Kindness Rock Garden. What began as an outreach effort quickly became a shared experience rooted in compassion, creativity and hope.

At Goshen Health, exceptional care is the result of teams coming together with a shared purpose. That spirit of collaboration recently helped expand access to specialized bladder cancer treatment at the Goshen Center for Cancer Care, allowing more patients to receive advanced care close to home.
