SPRINGFIELD — Sister Caritas Cancer Center, 271 Carew St., will host the American Cancer Society's Look Good ... Feel Better program from 4 to 6 p.m. on Feb. 27.
Look Good ... Feel Better is a free program that teaches cancer patients hands-on cosmetic techniques to help them cope with appearance-related side effects from chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments. Wig care, scarf and hat use, skin care, and nail care will all be discussed, and all participants will receive a free makeup kit. Participants should register at least one week before the session.
To register, call Sara Mutch at 493-2155.
Cosmetologists certified and trained by the American Cancer Society will conduct the sessions, which are non-medical and do not promote any product line. Look Good... Feel Better is a supportive, informative and enjoyable first step toward renewed self-esteem, self-confidence, and emotional recovery for cancer patients undergoing radiation or chemotherapy.
Look Good ... Feel Better is offered through a partnership of the American Cancer Society, the Personal Care Products Council Foundation and the National Cosmetology Association.
