American Cancer Association Inc

The purpose of this organization is to provide support and comfort through a very difficult time. We employ a direct and personal approach, recognizing that each individual has his unique journey and perspective. Additionally, we provide moraland psychological support to their caregivers and family members who are affected by the disease. We are sensitive to the fact some of us are tough in the face of the myriad of challenges, and some are fragile, and most are somewhere in between. Consequently, we strive to tailor our involvement in a way that best suits each individual's needs. Our staff is thoroughly trained to recognize the range and variation of each individuals' "journey" in our effort to achieve optimal results. We work with doulas, who embrace their task with strength and sensitivity.
