May 2023 - Lunch & Learn
Cancer Lunch & Learn Events
-
Access vital support systems to help you navigate a cancer diagnosis.
We invite patients with cancer, survivors, their family, and nonprofit/medical providers to attend one or all of the May Lunch and Learn events.
Each one-hour webinar, from 12p-1p, will focus on Mental Health, DEI/Health Literacy, Nutrition & Exercise. The discussions will highlight the cancer support landscape in eastern Maine, sharing what is available, how to access the care, and the emerging supports coming to the region. Speakers will have 10-15 minutes to share their work and services, leaving time for Q&A from attendees.
Registration is required to access the program Zoom link. You can also view the program via Christine B. Foundation’s Facebook live stream.
These programs are organized and provided to the Maine community in partnership between the Christine B. Foundation and the Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center.
