Live Strong® Cancer Support Group
Living with cancer is not just a physical journey. It is an emotional journey as well that can affect every relationship that exists in your life — relationships with spouses, children, friends, extended family, and work colleagues, not to mention your relationship with God. In addition to the emotional effects of cancer, there are also physical and practical elements that can be challenging. It is important for you to know that you are not alone in this experience.
Live Strong® is part of the Lance Armstrong Foundation, established by Lance Armstrong, winner of seven consecutive Tour de France races, and cancer survivor. This group is for persons who are living with cancer and those supporting them.
For more information, please contact Mary Jean Horstmann, Hospital Chaplain, at 952.758.8176.

Miscarriage/Infant Loss
One-on-one support
Have you experienced the loss of a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death? Have you imagined sharing special experiences with your child? Have others told you to just “get over it"?
Grieving for a baby is very different than grieving for a spouse, parent, sibling, older child, or other loved one. One-on-one support is available if you want to talk, listen, and share your feelings in a safe, confidential, nonjudgmental environment with others who have similar experiences. This support group is an interdenominational program co-sponsored by St. Wenceslaus Church Pastoral Ministries and Queen of Peace Hospital Pastoral Care Services. Call Sister Ginny Heldorfer for more information — 952.758.3225.
