Kitsap Cancer Services announces
support groups
“We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.”
   Kitsap Cancer Services (KCS) offers a “humble abode” for people living and coping with cancer. A non-profit organization, KCS is dedicated to offering life enhancing support services to cancer patients, families, friends and caregivers in a serene, nurturing environment at no cost to participants.
   Currently, three support groups hold meetings with facilitator, Karen Carson. The three sites focus on the needs of three separate groups:
   For friends, family and caregivers, meetings are held Wednesday, 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. and for anyone diagnosed with cancer, meetings are held on Monday, 1 – 2:30 p.m. at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, on Bainbridge Island.
   For women diagnosed with cancer, meetings are held at St. Charles Episcopal Church in Poulsbo, on Monday, 10:30 a.m. – noon.
   For information about support groups contact Karen Carson at (206) 843-3539 or at Karen@kitsapcancerservices.org
