Education is an important component of every cancer patient's recovery program.  It is extremely vital that patients understand their disease and are aware of treatment options and other reliable sources of information that can be beneficial in their journey to recovery and well being.  The Center for Cancer Wellness provides many areas of education and informational seminars for our patients.  Please check out our Calendar page or Events page for upcoming events regarding these programs and more or call our office for more information or any questions you may have.
