Look Good, Feel Better

DANBURY — The American Cancer Society and The Praxair Cancer Center at Danbury Hospital will co-sponsor a “Look Good…Feel Better” Workshop at Danbury Hospital on Monday, February 14, from 10 am to noon. The free workshop takes place at the Praxair Cancer Center Conference Room, first floor, Stroock Building.

 “Look Good…Feel Better” Workshops focus on teaching female cancer patients beauty techniques to help restore appearance and self-image during chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Trained volunteer cosmetologists from the community lead small groups through practical, hands-on experience regarding makeup techniques, skin care, nail care, and options related to hair loss such as wigs, turbans, and scarves. Each program participant receives a free kit of cosmetics for use during and after the workshop.

“Look Good…Feel Better” Workshops take place on the second Monday of each month. Park free in the Red parking garage, Locust Avenue entrance.
