July News

We are excited to announce that we will be adding a support group for Spanish-speaking patients this fall. “Viviendo con Cancer,” or “Living with Cancer,” will be a monthly supportive and educational group for adult Hispanic patients, caregivers, families and friends coping with any type of cancer. All group communication will be in Spanish.

Hope Cancer Resources strives to address the needs of as many people in our community who are touched by cancer as possible. In our efforts to better serve the Hispanic population in Northwest Arkansas, we have three fluent Spanish-speaking members of our team, including a Spanish interpreter and two Spanish-speaking social workers. Our Spanish interpreter is available to assist patients during their appointments to make sure they understand the medical aspect of their diagnosis. Our Spanish-speaking social workers are able to help address the emotional and sometimes financial parts of a patient’s cancer. Our newest effort, Viviendo con Cancer, will help connect Spanish speaking patients with other survivors.

Hope Cancer Resources wants our Spanish-speaking community members to know “Ellos no están solos,” (they are not alone). For more information about this upcoming support group, please contact Tania Martinez, LSW at 479-361-5847.
