Kent Hospital is pleased to offer a free breast cancer support group that meets every third Wednesday of the month, from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. It is an informal, ongoing group, bringing people together to share their experiences and problems related to cancer and to provide one another with comfort and help. Please use the Breast Cancer Center entrance located two doors to the left of Kent's Emergency Department, 455 Toll Gate Road, Warwick, RI.
The Breast Health Center at Kent is committed to providing its patients with access to the best possible care in this region. Instead of traveling to Boston, or even Providence, those seeking expert medical advice and cutting-edge treatment can find it at The Breast Health Center at Kent.
The Providence Young Onset Support Group will be held on the first Wednesday evening of each month at 6:30 p.m. Its goal is to provide an opportunity for people living with Parkinson’s Disease to share personal experiences, feelings, and coping strategies, to provide educational opportunities related to the disease, and to empower participants to take steps toward living well with Parkinson’s disease.
