Luxury Self-Care Bags for Patients

August 21, 2025

Cancer patients at Hackensack Meridian’s John Theurer Cancer Center received an unexpected gift this week: over 75 luxury self-care bags, each valued at around $400, thoughtfully curated and donated by Beauty Holiday Inc. The initiative was led by former Allure beauty editor Lindsay Colameo Peragallo, whose nonprofit transforms surplus beauty products into moments of care for women facing life’s hardest challenges. Joining us now to talk about the impact of today’s event are Kathleen Roupenian, Personal Patient Navigator, and Lauren Encarnacion, Project Coordinator at the John Theurer Cancer Center.
