ORGANIZATION: Hope Cancer Resources

  • 5 people are interested

The "Been There" volunteer will provide emotional and practical support to a cancer patient based in part on the volunteer’s own experience with cancer. We will attempt to match patients who request to speak with a "Been There" volunteer with a volunteer whose diagnosis or experience with cancer is most similar.

Mission Statement

Providing compassionate, professional cancer support and education in the Northwest Arkansas region today and tomorrow.

Description

Our vision is to provide hope and enhance quality of life by expanding prevention, wellness and comprehensive cancer support services in our region.

Hope Cancer Resources employs a highly-professional staff which includes licensed oncology social workers, a Spanish interpreter, two certified tobacco treatment specialists, one who is also a certified personal trainer and certified exercise specialist. We provide transportation to take patients to every cancer treatment as needed as well as education to help a patient during and after their treatment. Financial assistance is provided for prescription medications, nutritional supplements, dental care, gas cards, as well as everyday living expenses to alleviate some of the financial stress a patient and their family may face.

Believing emotional support is essential for healthy survivorship, we offer counseling services ranging from a kind word or listening ear to one-on-one, couples or family counseling sessions with a licensed mental health professional. Hope Cancer Resources also provides emotional support in group settings.
Hope Cancer Resources impacts the community by providing cancer prevention education in our region. Prevention education includes sun and UV safety, skin wellness, tobacco prevention and cessation, and informational seminars on healthy lifestyle behaviors to lower cancer risk.
