Summa Health Cancer Institute offers several different support groups, all providing an opportunity to meet and talk with others who are having similar experiences coping with cancer. Patients, survivors, family members and friends are welcome.
The purpose of the Oncology Support Group is to provide a supportive atmosphere where group members can discuss the impact that cancer is having on their lives. All patients, family members and friends who are touched by cancer are welcome to attend. With professional guidance of a social worker, members may discuss their concerns with others who are facing similar challenges.
The Oncology Support group meets virtually every third Monday of each month at 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
