SOUTHWEST HARBOR – The Beth C. Wright Center in Ellsworth will offer skin care, cosmetic and hair tips for women experiencing the side effects of cancer treatment from 1 to 3 p.m. Monday, July 18, at the Somesville Union Meeting House.

The program, called “Look Good … Feel Better,” is designed by the American Cancer Society to help female cancer patients improve their self-esteem during the difficulties of their treatment.
