Griffin talk to focus on reducing chemo side effects


DERBY - The Center for Cancer Care at Griffin Hospital will host a free workshop to help cancer patients lessen the side effects of chemotherapy.

Staff from Griffin Hospital’s Survivorship Training & Rehabilitation (STAR) certified Rehabilitation Department will offer advice and tips on increasing strength and energy while improving concentration, memory and focus from 6-7 p.m. Feb. 21 at 350 Seymour Ave.

The presentation is part of the Center for Cancer Care’s free Survivorship Program, which offers personalized guidance from experienced clinicians to help cancer patients transition from active treatment back to everyday life.
Topics of future presentations topics include exercise (March 21), nutrition (April 18) and intimacy and sexuality (May 17).

The Center’s entire survivorship care team is STAR certified. Through extensive evidence-based training, STAR certified clinicians have gained thorough knowledge and understanding of the unique rehabilitation needs of cancer survivors.

To reserve a spot for the workshop, call 203-732-1260 or email tpittman@griffinhealth.org.
To learn more about the Survivorship Program, contact the Center’s survivorship navigator Donna Hayes, 203-732-1408 or dhayes@griffinhealth.org to schedule a private consultation.
