Caring for a loved one who has cancer in no small feat. On average, cancer caregivers spend more than 30 hours every week caregiving (Cancer Caregiving in the U.S.). Spending that much time meeting the needs of another person may not leave a lot of time to care for yourself, but it is important that you do so.

Fifty percent of cancer caregivers experience significant emotional stress (Cancer Caregiving in the U.S.). In order to best care for your loved one, you must first care for yourself.

Hope Cancer Resources offers services to patients and caregivers alike. Our oncology social workers offer emotional assistance in the form of crisis intervention, individualized supportive counseling and support groups. Our Spanish Interpreter is available to assist you and your loved one during cancer-related medical appointments. Our Certified Tobacco Treatment Specialist (CTTS) is available to meet with you one-on-one or in a class setting. We also offer access to knowledge and a variety of health-oriented activities that help with emotional and physical well-being through our Wellness Center for Hope. All of our services are provided at no cost.
