After nine incredible years with Central Plains Cancer Services, our Educator, Karen Faurschou, is retiring.
For almost a decade, Karen has dedicated herself to educating community members and students about cancer prevention, healthy living, and the importance of taking charge of your health. Through school presentations, community sessions, health fairs, and countless conversations, Karen has touched so many lives across our region with her compassion, knowledge, and genuine care for others.
We wanted so badly to host a farewell celebration for Karen, but she made it very clear that she wouldn’t come because she simply wanted to quietly step away from her role without any attention or fuss. While we respect her wishes, we also couldn’t let her leave without letting her know just how much she has meant to all of us.
So instead, we are asking our community to help us celebrate her here. Please feel free to leave a memory of Karen, a message of thanks, or well wishes for her retirement in the comments below. We would love to share your words with her so she truly knows how valued and appreciated she has been over the years.
Karen, thank you for everything you have given to CPCS and to the communities we serve. Your impact will continue to be felt for years to come. Wishing you nothing but happiness, health, and new adventures in this next chapter.
*On a side note, although Karen is retiring from her Educator role, she won’t completely be leaving CPCS, she’s joining our amazing team of Independent Facilitators that help us with the delivery of clinics and community outreach initiatives across the region.*
