The Ventura Satellite of the Wellness Community Valley/ Ventura and Community Memorial Hospital's Cancer Resource Center will present "Spirituality and Quality of Life" with the Rev. Curtis Hotchkiss from 6 to 8 p.m. Wed., Feb. 11 at the hospital's Cancer Resource Center, 184 N. Brent St., Ventura.

The program is free to those with cancer, cancer survivors, and loved ones.

This workshop will focus on the connection between spiritual well-being and quality of life. Some research shows that spiritual or religious beliefs and practices promote a positive mental attitude that may help a patient feel better and improve the well-being of family caregivers.

Hotchkiss is director of spiritual care for Community Memorial Health System. Ordained in 1990, Hotchkiss holds a master's degree in theology.

He previously served as minister at New Life Ministries Church in Oxnard, and has maintained a volunteer ministry at the Ventura County Rescue Mission for more than 20 years.
