The Cancer Support Community at Monmouth Medical Center, Southern Campus Presents Look Good, Feel Better

“Look Good, Feel Better” is a national public service program for female cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. Dedicated to improving self-esteem and quality of life for female cancer patients, the program – presented by the Cancer Support Community at Monmouth Medical Center, Southern Campus – will be held on Monday, February 27 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at the Cancer Support Community in Lakewood.

This program helps improve the self-image and appearance of female cancer patients by providing hands-on beauty techniques to manage the appearance-related side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Patients will learn to cope with the side effects of treatment and feel comfortable with changes in their appearance by receiving a personal makeover by a cosmetology professional.
