The Blessing Cancer Center is the first in the Tri-State region to offer a unique cancer support group called BE STRONG-LIVELONG, totally inspired by the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
The BE STRONG-LIVELONG Cancer Support Group will provide the following:
- An ongoing support group for anyone having received a diagnosis of cancer
- An interactive and supportive process
- The opportunity for newly diagnosed cancer patients as well as survivors to discuss their personal experiences.
- Many studies have found that support groups can boost quality of life, calm anxiety, and help patients become more active and in control of their care.
Meetings will be held on the second Tuesday of each month from 11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. in the Blessing Cancer Center Complimentary Services Room. RSVP required for attendance/lunch. Please contact Rosie Scott at 217-223-8400, ext. 7709.
Claudia Lasys, LCSW, Clinical Therapist and recognized LIVESTRONGTM Leader will facilitate this progressive support group.
