The June 14 meeting of the Cancer Support Group will be held at 5 p.m. in the Fireside Room of Orcas Island Community Church. The guest speaker will be Jon Prescott, Patient Navigator of Island Hospital Cancer Care Center.
The center relocated in January 2012 to the beautiful new Medical Arts Pavilion on the Island Hospital campus. Prescott will provide information about the center’s relationship with other cancer treatment centers and hospitals.
The meeting will also include time for sharing among members. Staying connected with others who are or have walked the same path where you find yourself is always encouraging and helpful. Whether you are a patient, caregiver, relative, or friend of someone with cancer, you are welcome to come and share and hear other’s stories. This confidential no-cost group meets monthly for mutual support.
In July, organizers will be celebrating two years as an ongoing support group. For further information, call Bogdan or Carol at 376-4198.
