Good Samaritan Hospital Provides Outreach Programs for Cancer Survivors

John Mitty Tuesday, June 11, 2013

West Islip, NY – Breast Cancer Help, Inc. former President Lorraine Pace presented $2,000 scholarships to West Babylon High School senior Kimone Beaumont and Bay Shore High School senior Cassandra Crooks. The annual scholarships are awarded to students whose lives have been touched by a cancer diagnosis. After supporting a family member through cancer, both students plan to pursue careers in health care to be able to care for others. Ms. Beaumont plans to attend Farmingdale University to study nursing while Ms. Crooks will study pre-med at Suffolk Community College.

Breast Cancer Help, Inc., created the Long Island Cancer Help and Wellness Center at 32 Park Avenue in Bay Shore to provide non-medical support for those dealing with cancer. Through a series of free services including exercise classes, art therapy, and massage, the Center provides cancer survivors with support to overcome the challenges of a cancer diagnosis. Earlier this year, The Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation aligned with Breast Cancer Help, Inc. to provide outreach, education and programs for cancer survivors on Long Island.
