Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center Support Programs

All programs are provided free of charge and are held in the Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center conference room.

 

Treatment Orientation
Treatment Orientation is an essential part of treatment for all of our patients. This two-hour program is held every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Cancer Center conference room. Patients and their supports are strongly encouraged to attend. Please call 908-237-2328.

Look Good ... Feel Better
This single session program helps women undergoing cancer treatment learn to manage appearance changes that may occur. A licensed cosmetologist teaches hands-on makeup techniques, as well as skin and nail care. All participants receive complimentary cosmetics and skin care products. It is offered alternating months. Registration is required; call 1-800-ACS-2345 for dates and times.

Wigs and Accessories
Join us for information on how to select a wig, wig care and how to style scarves. Free new wigs, a wig kit and seasonal hats are available to women who are in need and do not have insurance coverage. Registration is required; call 1-800-ACS-2345.

Partners In Healing
This group of cancer survivors volunteers to provide peer support to patients currently undergoing cancer treatment. A Partners In Healing volunteer is matched with a patient who has a similar diagnosis or who is in similar circumstances. Volunteers visit with patients at Hunterdon Medical Center, outpatients at the Cancer Center, and provide support via telephone. For more information call 908-237-0744.

A complete list of cancer support education programs is available on our website www.hunterdonhealthcare.org.
