PRMC Cancer Support Services moving to MAC, Inc.

SALISBURY, Md. – Peninsula Regional Medical Center has announced that their Cancer Support Services office has moved from Riverside Drive to MAC, Inc.

“This was a natural transition, because MAC and our Cancer Support Services have been partnering for the past three years to provide a comprehensive cancer survivor program. In fact, for several years, quite a few of our programs have been located at MAC Inc. – now they will all be together in one location,” said Lisa Barnes, a social worker and coordinator of PRMC’s Cancer Support Services.

According to Robin Ritchie, Cancer Survivorship Coordinator for MAC Inc., there are many benefits to having Cancer Support Services all under one roof.

“Patients and survivors in the community will not have to travel between sites. Those who may have never visited MAC will become familiar with the gym, tai chi class, and garden, and perhaps take better advantage of these additional free resources. Likewise, those that may have only attended events at MAC may become interested in the restorative yoga class, and monthly social event or support groups,” said Ritchie.

Barnes and Ritchie both say they are looking forward to the closer integration of their programs, which will make it easier for patients and families to navigate as they are closer together. They hope that this will encourage more people to take advantage of these programs that can make a big difference in the lives of those with cancer.
