About
Cancer affects more than just the body. It weighs heavily on families, caregivers, and patients’ mental health. At OCSRI, we’re here to help you fight every aspect cancer—even the non-physical symptoms. With our Hope & Healing program, patients and their caregivers have access to free classes, which teach valuable coping skills and inspire hope.
Your overall health requires an integrative approach, and the Hope & Healing program utilizes a variety of therapeutic methods to provide helpful information and genuine support. Our classes include interesting topics, such as Stress Management, Music Appreciation and Art/Painting, and Yoga, in addition to numerous support groups.
For additional information, please contact Randy Dominguez, Patient Experience/Volunteer Coordinator at (918) 505-3200 or randy.dominguez@ocsri.org.
All classes require reservations. Reserve your spot by working with a scheduler or by calling (918) 505-3200.
