Patient Education
 
Patient Education
The Regional Cancer Center offers free monthly workshops that are designed to educate patients and their loved ones about specific cancer diagnoses, treatments, symptom management, etc. As all cancers are not created equal, these workshops are an opportunity to gain new information and details that should be helpful when discussing treatment options with one’s physician. Each workshop will allow ample time for questions, answers and discussion.

Although workshops are free, seating is limited and reservations are required by calling 239-335-7595.
