Workshops for Well-Being
These unique workshops provide an important avenue for achieving well-being and improved quality of life.
Art for the Soul Program – Hoag’s Art for the Soul Program is a series of classes/workshops that use different approaches to art to evoke relaxation, a space for creativity and time to spend with others in the cancer community.
Caregiver Support – Caregivers are the pillar of strength that an individual going through cancer leans upon. These individuals often place most or all of their attention on their loved one going through treatment, and very little on themselves. Attached is a flyer of resources available to the caregiver, offering ways to reconnect and take time to get the support needed through the cancer journey.

Lymphedema Workshop – An educational workshop provided by Lymphedema specialist Leslie Craner.
