Support Groups
Support Groups are designed to help patients cope both physically and emotionally with their illness. Groups are formed in response to demand and need; new programs are added periodically.
Different programs are offered on a regular basis to patients and their families and caregivers. The vast majority of the programs are offered free of charge, although donations are appreciated.
