“An educated population is one of the best ways to fight cancer, and this center

will be of immense value not only to those diagnosed but to those who love them.”

– José A. Lopez, MD, FACP

 
 
We are excited about these upcoming events!!!

 


“Look Good….Feel Better”     Tuesday, December 9, 10 am
 

In cooperation with the American Cancer Society, the CRC will present its monthly class called “Look Good…Feel Better” for women in cancer treatment.  Participants receive free cosmetics during the session and talk about makeup application.  Since some patients experience temporary hair loss during treatment, wigs tips, scarf options are also discussed. Patients may bring a friend to share the experience.  The Cancer Resource Center also has a limited supply of free wigs that may be of interest to cancer patients.

Reservations are required, to assure the correct skin tone color kit for the participant. Please call Donna Lafferty, Cancer Resource Center Coordinator at 990-6648 to reserve a spot for yourself or your friend.  Bring your buddy and have a nice time with her.
