Look Good, Feel Better June 11

DANBURY — The Praxair Cancer Center at Danbury Hospital will host a “Look Good…Feel Better” workshop sponsored by the American Cancer Society (ACS) Monday, June 11, from 10 am to noon.  The free workshop takes place at the Praxair Cancer Center’s conference room, located on the first floor of the Stroock Building, Locust Avenue entrance, and valet parking also is available.

“Look Good…Feel Better” Workshops focus on teaching female cancer patients beauty techniques that will help restore their appearance and self-image during chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Trained volunteer beauty experts from the community lead small groups through practical, hands-on experience regarding makeup techniques, skin care, nail care, and options related to hair loss such as wigs, turbans, and scarves. Workshop participants will each receive a free kit of cosmetics for use during and after the workshop.

“Look Good … Feel Better” workshops are conducted at Danbury Hospital on the second Monday of each month.  To register, contact Danbury Hospital’s cancer care coordinator at 797-7771.  For information regarding cancer education programs and services available at the Praxair Cancer Center, go to www.danburyhospital.org.
