Pediatric cancer patients treated at the Joseph M. Sanzari Children's Hospital at Hackensack University Medical Center meet once a week in a sun-filled art studio to express their unique perspective through the lens of a camera. The HackensackUMC Foundation secured a grant from the LIVESTRONG Foundation to fund the Pablove Foundation's Pablove Shutterbugs pho - tography program, a workshop series that teaches young people living with cancer to find their creative voice through the art of photography. Ten patients, ranging in age from 8 to 22 years old, registered for the weekly two-hour workshops during the course of a five-week program, which began this fall in a donated space at Bergen Community College. A second session will be offered in the spring. Programs culminate with a gallery exhibi - tion of the artwork that is created during these workshops. ■ A photo created during a workshop for young cancer patients treated at the Joseph M.
