Volunteer Opportunity for Cancer Survivors
You made it through cancer. Now reach out to someone who is up against it. “Connections” is a volunteer peer support program where cancer survivors (and their caregivers) who completed treatment at least a year ago are trained to become telephone guides or mentors for more newly diagnosed survivors and their families in similar situations to yours. Guides receive training, support, and resources. For more information and to apply, call Melanie Childers at (828) 266-1178. “Connections” is sponsored by the Cancer Resource Alliance of Watauga Medical Center.
