Educational Programs through The Hope Chest for Women
The Hope Chest for Women has made a commitment to providing preventative as well as cancer treatment education for the WNC community as well as local doctors. One of the ways The Hope Chest accomplishes this mission is by providing the eight-week seminar Spirit of Hope class (make this a link), which provides support and pertinent information regarding effects of cancer treatment for women who have been recently diagnosed with cancer, or have experienced a recurrence within the last year.

Spirit of Hope Class
Any woman who has been diagnosed with cancer or has experienced a recurrence during the last year is invited to attend this 8-week support and informational seminar. Using a wide range of professionals and specialists, each class addresses a different and valuable topic with tangible ideas for application. Research shows that by simply changing lifestyle habits a cancer patient can positively benefit her quest for health. These habits include daily exercise, good nutrition, developing a supportive community, stress management, and spiritual growth. Women who are dealing with cancer have an opportunity in this class to build new relationships with other women on a similar journey.

This class is open to all women cancer patients in western North Carolina who, as stated above, have been recently diagnosed or have experienced a recurrence of cancer within the last year. Fee for attending this class is $50, and scholarships are available; call HOPE at 828-670-8403 for information regarding class schedules, scholarships, and other general information. All classes are currently held at HOPE.
