Cancer Services Support Groups
March 2010

Are you looking for more resources or feeling stressed? Cancer Services offers many options to help cancer patients and their caregivers. You can call, stop by our office, or our nurse Charlie Inscho will schedule a home visit on a Monday or Thursday to explain how our services or referrals can help with financial, volunteer, or emotional needs. We also have several counselors who would be glad to set up an appointment to help you work on resolving troublesome issues.

Our support groups are a good way to learn useful information and talk with others who have been there. Family and friends are welcome. Meetings are usually scheduled for 7PM and are held at 220 W. Main Street in the Strosacker Center unless otherwise noted. All our patient services are free of charge.
