Canonsburg, Pa., (December 13, 2012) – Cancer patients undergoing treatment that causes hair loss can now receive a free wig at the newly-opened American Cancer Society Wig Salon at the Outpatient Care Center in Peters Township.

Wigs are available to cancer patients regardless of whether or not they have undergone treatment at the Outpatient Care Center. The ACS provides one wig per person.
