Our Programs
Chemo Companions
Chemo Companions is a network of trained, compassionate volunteers dedicated to providing emotional support to individuals undergoing chemotherapy. Volunteers offer a listening ear, comfort, companionship, and laughter in chemo lounges, creating an atmosphere of warmth and connection during what can often be an isolating and challenging time. Through meaningful conversation and small acts of kindness, Chemo Companions help lift spirits, ease anxiety, and bring a sense of community to those navigating the emotional and physical challenges of cancer treatment.
Chemo Comfort Bags
Created from time spent in chemo lounges and inspired by patient requests, Chemo Comfort Bags are thoughtfully curated to uplift spirits and provide comfort during treatment. Each bag is filled with carefully selected items designed to bring warmth, relaxation, and a sense of care. Contents include a handwritten inspirational card, cozy hand-knit hat, soft blanket, warm socks, engaging puzzle and coloring books, and other thoughtful items. These bags are meant to provide support and a little light during the challenging journey of chemotherapy.
Financial Support
Chemo Companions provides gift cards to help ease the financial strain of everyday necessities and the travel expenses associated with getting to and from treatment.
Holiday Sponsorship Program
The hospital staff selects a few families facing financial hardship and Chemo Companions provide them with gifts for their loved ones, ensuring they can experience the joy of the season, even during challenging times.
Chemosabe Events
Chemo Companions’ wellness and creative events are designed to provide a sense of community, relaxation, and self-expression for those undergoing cancer treatment. From yoga sessions tailored to reduce stress, to art classes that offer a creative outlet for healing, these activities are crafted to nurture the mind, body, and spirit. These events create a supportive space where patients can connect with others, explore new forms of self-care, and find peace and joy during their treatment journey.
