The James Beck Cancer Center located at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Rhinelander offers a free monthly Cancer Support Group, which meets the second Thursday of every month at 10 a.m. in the James Beck Cancer Center Conference Room. The next meeting is scheduled for January 14, 2010.
The Cancer Support Group offers people facing cancer the opportunity to learn from the experience of others in similar circumstances, to share methods of coping and to develop new relationships at a time of isolation.
The Cancer Support Group is open to any person who has been diagnosed with cancer, whether undergoing treatment currently or not. Family members may also find it beneficial to attend this group. Judy Walton, MSW and Kadie Van Cleve, RN will facilitate the group.
For more information, please contact Kadie Van Cleve, RN Patient Educator at 715-361-4337.
