A new cancer support group will meet at Illinois Valley Community Hospital (IVCH) at 6 p.m. on the second Monday of each month.
Anyone in the Illinois Valley area who has been diagnosed with any form of cancer is invited to join the group, which is led by Dan Brooks, a cancer survivor and retired teacher, as well as the Rev. Diana Kurtz, a member of IVCH's pastoral care team.
Every meetup offers information about cancer and local resources that might be useful to cancer patients and family members. The meetings are held in the conference room near the West Street lobby of the hospital.
For more information, call the hospital's community outreach department at 815-780-4618.
