NMMC’s in-person cancer support group was suspended in the Spring of 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We know that cancer is not taking a break while we deal with the effects of the pandemic so we want to make sure that you continue to have the tools and resources that you need to stay as strong and healthy as possible. The Valley Strong Cancer Support Group will be reinstated when the environment is safe for live events.

We encourage you to visit the online Look Good Feel Better program. Look Good Feel Better is described as a non-medical, brand-neutral public service program that teaches beauty techniques to people with cancer to help them manage the appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment. The program includes lessons on skin and nail care, cosmetics, wigs and turbans, accessories and styling, helping people with cancer to find some normalcy in a life that is by no means normal.
Thousands of volunteer beauty professionals support Look Good Feel Better. All are trained and certified by the Look Good Feel Better Foundation and the Professional Beauty Association at local, statewide, and national workshops. Other volunteer health care professionals and individuals also give their time to the program.
