In addition to many other support programs for patients with cancer, Jefferson has its own bimonthly Look Good, Feel Better program for women with cancer. Look Good, Feel Better has been developed by the American Cancer Society in conjunction with the national Cosmetology Association and the Cosmetic Toiletry and Fragrance Association. The program helps women with cancer improve their appearance and self image by teaching them hands-on beauty techniques that help them cope with the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. The program is directed particularly at hair loss and skin changes related to treatment. Class size is limited to 10 participants to ensure that each woman receives sufficient personal attention.
Parking is free as are the light refreshments provided.
If you know women with cancer who would be interested in the program, please have them call volunteer services at 955-6222. Ms. Marco's cooking demonstration will begin at noon, and a heart-healthy luncheon will follow. Jill Braid is president of the club, which provides educational and cultural programs for spouses of JMC faculty and sponsors the Jefferson Art Show every spring. In addition, the members have established an Emergency Loan Fund to meet unexpected expenses Jefferson medical students may incur.
