Surviving Cancer support group
The Shenendehowa Adult Community Center offers a Cancer Survival Support Group on select Fridays at 11 a.m. Facilitated by Meaghan O’Connor, RN BS MBA CLNC, this support group addresses informational needs of people being treated for cancer. Cancer does not need to be confronted alone. While support of family and friends is very important, joining a group of people who have similar needs can be beneficial in order to achieve the goal of a healthy and fulfilling life. Learn and benefit from the support of others on the road to recovery. Please contact the Center at 383-1343 for information on how to register and the support group schedule.
