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.
About This Cause
Cancer Connection offers a haven where people living with cancer, their families and their caregivers can learn how to cope with their changed lives and bodies and emotional turmoil by sharing strategies and resources. All of our offerings are free of charge. There is much to be gained from learning to team with the medical system and draw on our own strengths, a constellation of integrative therapies, and the wisdom of our peers who have traveled the same road before us. Cancer Connection is a warm welcoming haven, providing support to people who have a cancer diagnosis and their loved ones. Our innovative approach allows people to give and receive support in a creative environment that emphasizes vitality and strength, as opposed to isolation and illness. Our support groups, stress reduction classes, integrative therapies, befriending support, and one-to-one/peer guidance complement traditional medical treatment for cancer such as chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Since its founding in 2000 by Deb Orgera and Jackie Walker, Cancer Connection has dedicated itself to creating a haven that emphasizes vitality and good times rather than isolation and illness. We are able to offer our services free of charge, thanks to the generosity of the individuals, corporations and foundations that support our work. Cancer Connection is a place to find strength. For over twenty years, Cancer Connection has provided 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 the body and spirit. All of the services and programs at Cancer Connection are offered free of charge.
