WARE — The Baystate Regional Cancer Program at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital and the American Cancer Society will present “Look Good … Feel Better,” a free program for area women, at the hospital on Thursday, July 23 from 10 a.m. to noon.

The program teaches beauty techniques to women who are undergoing cancer treatment. For cancer patients undergoing radiation or chemotherapy, the session offers support, information, and an enjoyable first step toward renewed self-esteem, self-confidence, and emotional recovery.

Deb Rozzen, volunteer cosmetologist with the “Look Good … Feel Better” program, will be on hand to help women learn how to enhance their appearance using makeup techniques. Wig care, scarf and hat use, skin care, and nail care will all be discussed, and all participants will receive a free makeup kit.

Sessions are limited to 12 people and are open to any woman undergoing cancer treatment in the area. Pre-registration by July 9 is required by calling Camille St. Onge, oncology social worker at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital, at (413) 967-2245.
