I Can Cope Online

These American Cancer Society online classes are free and a way for anyone newly diagnosed with cancer and their families to get valuable information and answers to some of their questions. The classes are self-paced and include video and audio lessons, interactive quizzes and interesting links to related topics. To take the classes, simply go to cancer.org/onlineclasses and select the class you are interested in taking, and complete the short registration from. If you do not have a computer at home, you may use one in the Community Health Information Room at Sacred Heart, located on the lower level across from the Community Auditorium.
