The “Wright” Cancer Conversation: Lunch & Learn Series

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our September 26th Lunch & Learn!

We were pleased to welcome Julie Hazelton, FNP, from Mary Dow, Northern Light Cancer Care, Maine Cost Hospital, and Dr. Cadie Saucier, DPT, founder of Mainely Pelvic.

Together, they led an engaging discussion on local access to cancer care and treatment, including:

• Diagnosis, treatment, and surgical services at the Mary Dow Center in Ellsworth
• Collaboration between local providers and Northern Light Cancer Care in Brewer
• What to expect when referred to oncology services
• Specialized pelvic health and physical therapy support for cancer patients
• Community-based resources and support available through the Beth C. Wright Center

We are grateful to our speakers and participants for making this event so meaningful. Stay tuned for details on the next Lunch & Learn in the series!
