Ann Romney, who survived breast cancer, will visit Moffitt Cancer Center outside Tampa on Wednesday, the campaign announced.
Romney will tour Moffitt's Women's Oncology Center and visit with patients and their families, according to Tampa Bay Online.
The event comes as Mitt Romney, the GOP presidential nominee, works to soften his image on healthcare in the closing weeks of the campaign. October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Ann Romney, 63, has been called the GOP campaign's "secret weapon," humanizing her husband and connecting warmly with voters. She was diagnosed with a non-invasive form of breast cancer in 2008 and underwent a lumpectomy and radiation, Tampa Bay Online reported.
Moffitt is designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute, according to the site.
