Mission Statement

Cancer Connection’s mission is to provide a haven where people with cancer and their loved ones can learn how to navigate the complicated cancer journey through one-to-one guidance, education, peer support, integrative therapies, and creative programs to strengthen body and spirit. We are able to offer our services free of charge, thanks to the generosity of the individuals, corporations, and foundations that support our work.

Description

Since its founding in 2000 by Deb Orgera and Jackie Walker, Cancer Connection has dedicated itself to creating a restorative environment emphasizing vitality and good times rather than isolation and illness. Cancer Connection, Inc. is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides a community cancer support center serving individuals and families who are dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Cancer Connection is the only cancer support center in Hampshire and Franklin Counties and draws additional participants from Hampden County and beyond.

We offer all our support groups, integrative therapies, classes, and programs free of charge in a non-clinical environment, and invite you to call us at your convenience to talk to staff or a trained befriender for help sorting out priorities, accessing resources, or simply providing deep listening and emotional support to people dealing with a diagnosis and their loved ones.
