Who

Contra Costa Regional Medical Center hosts the American Cancer Society's Look Good, Feel Better Program. Trained volunteer cosmetologists teach women how to cope with skin changes and hair loss using cosmetics and skin care products donated by the cosmetic industry.

Why

Cancer can rob a woman of her energy, appetite and strength. But it doesn't have to take away her self-confidence. It's like a make-over for the spirit.
