Are you wondering what’s next? As the “stay at home” restrictions are gradually being lifted, there are still things you need to do and not do! And things you need to know! Join us for an open online discussion led by Anita Watson, RN, Lead Infection Preventionist at the Novant Health Cancer Center. Anita will be talking to blood cancer survivors about what are good practices now and in the future.
In order to participate in this program, you MUST REGISTER. Includes diagnoses of leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
Email Typhany to register! - Thursday, May 28th at 2pm: Nature Scavenger Hunt and Stump the Horticulturist!
Appreciate the wonder of nature and join us as Forsyth County Cooperative Extension Horticulturists Leslie Peck and Mary Jac Brennen discuss plants you might find as you wander through your yard, neighborhood or local park. We will ask you to go on a “scavenger hunt” for nature items before our session. Bring your items to our online group and we’ll see if the horticulturists can identify them!
REGISTER FOR NATURE SCAVENGER HUNT HERE!
If you have questions about programs, email Julie or calling our office (336-760-9983)!
Nutrition After Cancer Program: What to Eat, What to Avoid
If you’re tired of wondering what you should and should not be eating as a cancer survivor or caregiver, then this virtual program is for you!
There is a lot of confusion about what is “good” and “bad” for cancer survivors to eat, but this series will teach you about the basics of a healthy diet that isn’t just good for survivors, but for everyone!
