Supportive Care
Positive Image Center
City of Hope’s Positive Image Center™ helps patients cope with
the emotional, social and cosmetic effects of chemotherapy and other
medical treatments. The center’s Duarte headquarters offers
one-on-one consultations to about 150 patients each month,
demonstrating various ways to conceal hair loss, along with skin
care and corrective makeup techniques. Members of the Positive Image
Center staff include an experienced fashion consultant, wig
specialist, and others who are specially trained to help cancer
patients cope with changes in their appearance. Post-mastectomy
products, wigs and head coverings are available for purchase. The
Positive Image Center can also be found at the City of Hope West Los
Angeles Cancer Center, and in Spokane, Washington.
