The
A. Margaruite Duerst Wellness Resource Center
Your source for information
on cancer, cancer prevention and healthy living.
The Duerst Wellness Resource Center is a free center for information on cancer, cancer prevention and healthy living. Stocked with brochures, books, magazines and videotapes, the Center also provides Internet access and recommendations for websites that provide helpful information about cancer and wellness.
To use the Resource Center, simply check in at the Cancer Prevention Institute’s reception desk during business hours. We will introduce you to the Center’s materials and provide help with your search. If you are planning a program for others on cancer prevention or lifestyle choices, we will be happy to assist you. Materials for group programs are available upon request.
We look forward to helping you get the information you need to live a healthier life.
NCI’s Cancer Information Service Partnership
The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Cancer Information Service (CIS) participated in the planning of the Resource Center. In partnership with Cancer Prevention Institute, the CIS will provide on-going assistance to ensure that the latest information from the National Cancer Institute will be available.
Helping Others Stay Healthy
The Duerst Wellness Resource Center is always in need of more materials to share with the community. Purchasing a book or magazine subscription for the Center is a wonderful way to honor a loved one. Borders Books & Music keeps a “Wish List” on hand of items that would add to the Resource Center’s wealth of information. You may either purchase the book at Borders and bring it to the Cancer Prevention Institute, or the staff at Borders will see that your contribution is delivered to the Center.
If you choose, a special bookplate will describe the honoree and offer our thanks for your thoughtful and very welcome contribution.
About Margaruite Duerst
Ms. Duerst was a devoted teacher in the Dayton school system whose bequest to Cancer Prevention Institute funded the Cancer Center’s original library. Because she was a strong advocate of education, it is fitting that the new Wellness Resource Center continues to bear her name.
