Our Support Groups provide an environment for people, who are affected by cancer, to meet regularly to sustain and encourage each other by sharing experiences and discussing relevant information. Check the calendar for the support group meetings.

• Friends And Family Support Group

• We're Too Young For This!

  This group is for all men and women who feel as if they were "very young" when diagnosed with cancer. This is a great opportunity to get to know other young adults in the community while enjoying appetizers. Upon request, we also provide structured and supervised activities for children. This group meets the 2nd Wednesday of each month.



• Cancer Buddies

  Cancer Buddies is a companion program that connects a person who is newly diagnosed with cancer to another person who is a long-term survivor of a similar cancer diagnosis. This connection is intended to offer both support and information for the shared cancer experience. To request a Cancer Buddy, please contact the CSC at 582-1600.
