Calling All Cancer Survivors:
Expanded Cancer Support Group
to Meet January 19
    A newly expanded Cancer Support Group will meet on Tuesday, January 19th, at Three Rivers Health. This support group is open to survivors of all types of cancer, from those who are newly diagnosed through those who have survived for many years.

    The topic for this month’s meeting is “Massage – A Healing Force for Overall Health,” presented by Tamara Paul, a recent cancer survivor herself. Tamara will provide free sitting massages to those in attendance.

    Tamara currently teaches classes in Yoga, Zumba, and water aerobics at HealthTRAC, in addition to her studies in massage therapy at Kalamazoo Center for the Healing Arts.

    “The group will offer education and support,” said Kim Rogers, MSN, RN, who is a 20-plus year breast cancer survivor and experienced support group leader. “This group started with a focus on breast cancer, but we realize people with all forms of cancer face similar challenges and they all can benefit from education and support,” she continued.

    Joan Lewis, RN, BSN, MSN, from the Specialty Clinics, has joined the group as a facilitator. Joan is an Oncology Certified Nurse and certified chemotherapy provider, having specialized in this area for the past 22 years.

    The meeting will be held in the St. Joseph Conference Room at Three Rivers Health, beginning at 6:30 pm. The two-hour meeting will begin with an informative presentation, followed by refreshments and a support group discussion, which will be led by co-facilitators Kim Rogers, Katharine Gaj, and Joan Lewis, who are all health professionals.

    This Cancer Support Group is offered free of charge as a service to the community. For more information, call Kim Rogers at Three Rivers Health at 269.273.9757.
