Neurosciences
Memphis Regional Brain Tumor Support Group is sponsored by the Methodist Healthcare Foundation and is dedicated to keeping members informed about treatment options, research and new therapies. Through education and awarness, we can assist in increasing and strengthening family support, and help participants learn how to decrease feelings of isolation through group involvement. This, in turn, will enhance the quality of life for all who are affected by this disease.
The group meets from 5-6 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month. Meetings are held at:
Colonial Park United Methodist Church
5330 Park Ave.
Memphis, TN 38119
There is no fee for the meeting, but registration is requested. Contact Cherry Welborn or call 901.757.0806 to register.
