We also have guest speakers share information on symptom management, current research and other topics. The group meets at OSF HealthCare Illinois Neurological Institute, 200 E. Pennsylvania Ave. in Peoria. Please contact Cassie Richardson, brain tumor nurse navigator, at (309) 324-4000, ext. 76503 or email meetforthemind@ini.org to learn more.
