Partner Resources
The American Cancer Society has a number of resources that can help. We stand ready to assist patients throughout their cancer journey.
Below are some ways the American Cancer Society is able to support your patients and their caregivers virtually (embedded links below):
NCIC – Our National Cancer Information Center is being staffed 24/7 so that even now families can get answers from a live person wherever they are, no matter what time it is. Our trained cancer information specialists provide accurate, up-to-date information. People may call us by phone (1-800-227-2345) or Live Chat. You don’t have to face a cancer diagnosis alone. Talk or chat live with a trained cancer information specialist or find support in your own community.
- Reach To Recovery – We’ve shifted our Reach To Recovery one-on-one support program to completely phone-based, linking new breast cancer patients with survivors who have had a similar diagnosis and treatment plan
Support Group Resources: We have online support resources so those touched by cancer can connect, interact, and find answers in this time of crisis.
- Cancer Survivors Network – Patients and caregivers can find a safe, supportive online connection at csn.cancer.org. There are discussion boards and chat rooms where people can built their own support network.
