LONG BRANCH, NJ – Area families who have experienced the
loss of a loved one from a brain tumor gathered recently to share
their experiences and help share their loss through an innovative
art program called “Art is Good.” Presented by the
David S. Zocchi Brain Tumor Center at Monmouth Medical Center
in cooperation with Creative Seven, the Art is Good class was
held at Surf Taco in Belmar, and taught by local artist Tim Kelly.

by The David S. Zocchi Brain Tumor Center at Monmouth Medical
Center. Joining him is Judy Zocchi, Pat Doherty, and his children
Olivia and Kyle. Doherty lost his wife to a brain tumor.
The class was designed to give children and adults the opportunity
to socialize with others who are in a similar situation and offer
a forum for expression through creativity and friendship. The
Art Is Good classes are a casual way to bring together families
who have a common situation in their lives.
Monmouth Medical Center’s David S. Zocchi Brain Tumor
Center at the Leon Hess Cancer Center provides a full spectrum
of comprehensive services to treat benign and malignant tumors
originating in the brain and spinal cord, as well as neurological
complications of cancer that has spread to other regions of the
body. The Center offers a multidisciplinary approach for leading-edge
treatment of primary and metastatic tumors of the central nervous
system.
The David S. Zocchi Brain Tumor Center is committed to serving
the families of people who have been diagnosed with brain tumors. In

Tumor Center provides access to a social worker for one-one-one
family counseling.
