BMLH to Host ‘Look Good … Feel Better’ Program

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, on Thursday, April 17, from 10 a.m. to noon. The program teaches beauty techniques to women who are undergoing cancer treatment.

The session offers support, information, and an enjoyable first step toward renewed self-esteem, self-confidence, and emotional recovery for cancer patients undergoing radiation or chemotherapy.

Deb Rozzen, volunteer cosmetologist, will be on hand for the program 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, and will be held at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital. Pre-registration by March 18 is required by calling Camille St. Onge, oncology social worker at BMLH, at (413) 967-2245.
