St. Barnabas Hospital’s Cancer Center offers more than just medical care and information to patients—we treat the whole person, tending to the emotional and physical needs of patients.

Patients often rely on the advice of family and friends to deal with concerns about their appearance.  Look Good…Feel Better (LGFB) is a program sponsored by the American Cancer Society and National Cosmetology Association to help patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment cope with appearance-related side effects, such as dry skin, or thinning hair and eyebrows. 

St. Barnabas Hospital is pleased to regularly offer patients LGFB workshops for small groups.  Led by volunteer beauty professionals, patients learn beauty techniques to address side effects and restore their self-image during treatments, and other useful tips and information about how treatments may affect skin and hair care during this challenging time. 

LGFB also provides information for men. Please contact the Cancer Center at 1-800-240-6147 or the American Cancer Society at 1-800-395-LOOK
