Our Commitment...
Support Connection is about caring. Each person that reaches out for support is given personalized attention in a warm, compassionate atmosphere. Services are always free and confidential. Our trained facilitators and hotline volunteers are cancer survivors. It is our goal to assist people so that they make educated decisions about their health care.
Once the connection is made, our services span prevention, diagnosis, treatment and recovery. We
do not tell people what they need, rather, we offer multiple resources to help meet their individual needs.
All of our services are provided free of charge. To date, we have had over 12,000 participants in our programs.
We’re Here to Help!
