Celebrating Four Years of Grace, Growth, and Healing at 3Rivers Cancer Center
On 14th December 2025, we gathered to celebrate a significant milestone ; 4 years of 3Rivers Cancer Center! The celebration itself was beautiful, but even more meaningful was the journey that led us there.
The weeks and months leading up to our 4th anniversary had been marked by both challenges and victories. We walked alongside many patients and families, offering care and hope during some of their most difficult moments. At the same time, we witnessed growth ; in our team, in our services, and in our collective capacity to deliver compassionate, excellent cancer care.
As we reflected during the celebration, a great ship sailing deep seas requires expert skill to navigate. Through waves and storms, 3Rivers Cancer Centre has continued to move forward.
For this, we are deeply grateful to our management team, led by our CEO, Dr. Abrahams Omoding, whose steady leadership has guided us through complex seasons with wisdom and courage. We thank the board of Directors who serve together with the CEO to strategically move us forward and continue to thank God for the grace and insight He has poured upon the leadership.
The people we passionately serve: Patients and their Caregivers
It has been a true privilege to steward the care of the many patients who have walked through our doors. Each story entrusted to us reinforces why we do what we do.
The theme of our fourth anniversary celebration “Growing in Grace and Healing with Passion” captured the heart of our mission. One of the most moving moments of the event was hearing patient and caregiver reflections, as they courageously shared their personal cancer journeys. Their stories reminded us that behind every diagnosis is a human life, a family, and a community.
We also took time to remember and honor those we have lost in this battle. They fought bravely, and their lives continue to shape the work we do. We hold their families close in our hearts.
The Great Team at 3RCC
Celebration would not be complete without recognizing the people who make 3RCC what it is. We honored all Employees of the Month in 2025, and proudly celebrated our Employee of the Year 2025, Florence Namugenyi who is a true example of dedication, compassion, and excellence in cancer care.
We also took a special moment to honor our long-serving team members – Isma Nabwii, Gerald Lubega, and Hassan Muhammad – who have been part of 3Rivers Cancer Center since its inception. Their loyalty and commitment have helped shape the foundation upon which our institution stands today. We are deeply grateful for the years they have poured into this vision, walking the journey from the earliest days and continuing to serve with dedication and excellence.
Beyond individual awards, we celebrated the entire 3 Rivers team – from outpatient to inpatient care – acknowledging our growth in numbers, our deepening knowledge in oncology care, and the expansion of specialized services. These include initiatives such as the Gynecology Oncology Clinic under Dr. Irumba, and the neurology clinic under Dr. Mukisa alongside the strengthening of partnerships with multiple organizations who share our vision.
Cancer care is never the work of one person. It is the result of many hands, many minds, and many hearts working quietly and consistently together. We formally extend our gratitude to every department for their collective contribution over the past year:
- Front Desk Team
- Nursing Department
- Clinical Team and Consultants
- Pharmacy Department
- Laboratory Department
- Accounts and Finance Department
- Hospitality and Sanitation Department
- Security Team
- Management and Administration
- Our Partners, Directors and Shareholders
Each role matters. Each contribution counts.
We closed the celebration with words that beautifully captured the spirit of 3Rivers Cancer Centre – a poem written by one of our pharmacy team members, Hadad Dauda:
An idea was conceived, and of it 3Rivers was birthed,
And by His grace it thrived; in no time some years it had lived.
Each day we come, a layer at a time,
We build strong, tall, and firm – a haven against the scourge.
From where we shall lead the purge, when we eventually come of age.Growth is a right, unless it’s malignant,
Then upon it descends our might,
For we have the tools to fight.
Long may 3Rivers last,
And stand head and shoulders tallest,
In the frontier boundless and vast, of preservation of human life.
As we step into our 5th year, we do so with gratitude, humility, and renewed commitment. The journey continues – and we remain steadfast in our calling to serve in grace together.
