CHC – The Cancer & Hematology Centers

Support Groups

Treating cancer means more than just attacking the disease. It means treating and supporting the whole person. It means making sure loved ones have the resources they need.

Beyond the services CHC provides, we have found these resources to be helpful for our patients.

Gilda’s Club offers free social and emotional assistance to men, women, and children with cancer, their families and friends. Members attend group sessions, lectures, workshops, seminars, and social activities with the goal of learning to live with cancer, whatever the outcome.

To learn more, visit gildasclubgr.org, or call (616) 453-8300.

The American Cancer Society has information regarding support groups and patient education opportunities. To search for the right resources for you, visit ACS Support Programs and Services.

Cancer Care provides education and counseling, referral sources, financial assistance, online support groups, and tips on coping. Visit cancercare.org for more information.

The United Way also offers a searchable database of resources local to West Michigan.

Bluebird Cancer Retreats, based in Spring Lake MI, offers unique weekend respite retreats and support resources for adults that have been diagnosed with cancer.
