Prostate Cancer Support Group to meet

Adult and Pediatric Urology (APU) in partnership with Cuyuna Regional Medical Center and Riverwood Healthcare Center will host an Us TOO Prostate Cancer Support Group meeting on January 17 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Conference Center at Heartwood Senior Living Community, 500 Heartwood Drive, Crosby.

The Aitkin-Crosby Us TOO Prostate Cancer Support Group is part of the international Us TOO organization that helps men and their families with free information, materials and peer-to-peer support so they can make informed choices on detection, treatment options and coping with ongoing survivorship. Cindy Hauser, local APU Nurse Practitioner who cares for urology patients in Aitkin and Crosby, is facilitating the support group. An educational presentation will be led by Dr. Shawn McGee, APU urologist who also cares for patients in Aitkin and Crosby.

In addition to the presentation, there will be time for voluntary individual introductions, sharing and a question-and-answer period. Spouses and partners of prostate cancer patients are welcome to attend. Light refreshments will be served.

Registration is not required to attend this support group meeting. For more information, contact Cuyuna Regional Medical Center’s Education department at (218) 546-2342 or education@cuyunamed.org
