    Four "R" Day

    OGHS is offering a special day for Breast Cancer Survivors.
    You may have eaten at a four star restaurant or had an overnight stay at a four star hotel but how about treating yourself to a four "R" day?
    A day of Relaxation, Recreation, Recuperation, and Rejuvenation

    That's right, a retreat for Breast Cancer Survivors to provide emotional, spiritual and social support. The emphasis will be on developing positive coping skills for recovery. The goal is to create a new awareness of inner strengths and support systems available, and of course to have fun as well. Information on community resources for cancer patients and their families will also be available.
