More from CamarilloWomen in the Ventura area facing breast cancer have a new resource in their corner - a support group offered by The Wellness Community Valley/Ventura and Community Memorial Hospital. The free group takes place every Thursday from 1:30pm to 3:00pm at the newly-opened Community Memorial Hospital Cancer Resource Center, across the street from CMH at 184 North Brent Street, Ventura, CA, 93003.
"A support group can be a great source of hope, camaraderie, and knowledge," says the group's facilitator, licensed therapist Maryana Palmer. "It reminds people they are not alone as they face cancer, that they have allies and a safe place to talk about their day-to-day journey."
