The
mission of Hope Cancer Resources is to provide compassionate, professional
cancer support and education in the Northwest Arkansas region today and
tomorrow. For over 25 years, our programs
have allowed cancer
patients to have access to cancer services they need with a focus on improving
quality of life and lowering the incidence of cancer in Northwest Arkansas.
Hope Cancer Resources employs a
highly-professional staff which includes a team of licensed oncology social
workers, a Spanish interpreter, and two certified health education specialists.
Our transportation service is provided to take patients to every cancer
treatment as needed as well as education to help a patient during and after
their treatment. Financial assistance is also provided for prescription
medications, nutritional supplements, gas cards, as well as everyday living
expenses to alleviate some of the financial stress a patient and their family
may face.
Believing emotional support is essential for healthy survivorship, we offer
this service ranging from a kind word or listening ear to one-on-one, couples
or family counseling sessions with a licensed mental health professional. Hope
Cancer Resources also provides emotional support in group settings.
In addition, Hope Cancer Resources will impact the community by providing free
cancer screenings and cancer prevention education for public schools, employers
and the general public. This education includes breast self-examination,
smoking cessation, tobacco prevention, sun safety, promoting healthy lifestyles
and other means to reduce the risk of cancer.
The programs of Hope Cancer Resources are funded
in part through grants from the Cancer Challenge, Ozark Affiliate of Susan G.
Komen for the Cure, the Walmart Foundation, Arkansas Cancer Coalition, Delta
Dental of Arkansas Foundation, MANA Foundation, Willard and Pat Walker
Charitable Foundation and the Winthrop Rockefeller Cancer Institute Auxiliary
as well as corporate and individual donations.
