Cancer Resource Center opens

Music, refreshments and a talk by former oncology nurse and humorist Patty Wooten marked the grand opening of the UC Davis Cancer Resource Center, located in the lobby of the cancer building. Laura Russell, a former UC Davis Cancer Center patient and lymphoma survivor, provided guitar music.

Wooten is an inspirational speaker and owner of Jest for the Health Of It, a company devoted to promoting therapeutic uses of humor. She is author of two best-selling books, "Heart Humor and Healing" and "Compassionate Laughter: Jest for Your Health," and has appeared on such TV shows as NBC's Real Life, The Dis-covery Channel, and Good Morning L.A..

The newly renovated resource center offers a big screen television and VCR as well as books, magazines, audio and videotapes and Internet access to cancer patients and their families. It also serves as a site for other patient activities, including a monthly lecture series on topics ranging from alternative medicine to sexuality.
