Your Cancer Support Community Team

What We Do

 

We serve all people with cancer - any diagnosis, any stage - and their families and caregivers.
 

Our programs and services are always provided at no cost to ensure that we do not increase the financial burden of those already coping with life-threatening issues. Participants will never receive a bill, no insurance or credit card needed. Our comfortable setting helps people find a sense of community among others with whom they can share, learn and improve their quality of life.

All of our programs, including support groups, are managed and facilitated by licensed mental health professionals who are specifically trained in Cancer Support Community philosophy, methodology, and administration. Cancer Support Community provides only programs that are both purposeful and proven to be effective by sound research.
