Michael Reisman, our Executive Director, is a member of the Rehabilitation and Survivorship Work Group of the Maine Cancer Consortium and is involved in the development of the new five year plan for survivorship and rehabilitation. He has also developed working relationships with representatives at Cancer Care of Maine, the Cancer Community Center, Encore Plus, and other cancer care, medical, and social organizations in the state. Through our partnerships and our commitment to Direct Action, The Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center brings the most current information and expertise to our clients – especially those in our often under-served Downeast communities who in many instances must travel long distances to access support.. As awareness of our programs and services grows, we expect to serve many more in the coming years.
