The Cancer Center at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital invites patients throughout southwest Louisiana to visit the Miles Perret “Mobile Miles” Cancer Services’ mobile outreach program on Monday, January 19, from 10am until 2pm. 

This mobile program will operate from the Memorial Hospital campus at 1701 Oak Park Boulevard one-day-a-month providing free non-medical support and information for cancer patients throughout southwest Louisiana. The unit will be stationed in the Medical Office Building parking lot via 3^rd Street.  

In addition to emotional, financial and physical support services “Mobile Miles” will bring medical supplies and equipment, nutritional supplements, wigs, prostheses and other resources to patients diagnosed with cancer—at no charge—regardless of  age, financial circumstances, or type of cancer. No appointment is necessary.

Since 2002, the Lafayette-based Miles Perret Cancer Services has provided emotional, financial and physical cancer support services to more than 4,000 families in Acadiana. A $100,000 grant from health benefits company Humana enabled the non-profit organization to purchase and equip the mobile unit, which brings care, compassion and cancer support services to families fighting cancer in 12 south Louisiana parishes.
