Living with and beyond cancer takes an entire community. The effects of a cancer diagnosis are life-changing and call for a community of strength, hope, support, encouragement, and guidance.

We are steadfast in our belief that social and emotional support are essential in the face of a cancer diagnosis. At Cancer Support Community Southwest Colorado, we offer programs and services that include education, emotional support, resource and supportive care navigation, healthy lifestyle classes, social connection, and hope for people with cancer and their loved ones. We support all people experiencing cancer in our communities to become healthier and live better lives no matter where they are in the cancer continuum. All programs and services are offered at no cost to cancer patients, survivors and families impacted by cancer in Southwest Colorado.  

We need your help! Donate today to give hope and support to people living with and beyond cancer in our Southwest Colorado communities.

Testimonials

"Most people would never understand how difficult it is to learn they have cancer and then realize that the treatment they need could not be given in the place they live. I needed to have surgery in another state, 10 hours from my home, and I live alone. My family lives overseas. Without the help of the nurse navigator, this would have been so much more difficult. Finding support in the place I was treated, a place to stay until the surgeon released me, and someone to care for me when I returned home seemed insurmountable. I am so grateful for the support I received from this organization." - the nurse navigator's patient

“I come to yoga every week. I am still coming back into my body and into myself again after treatment, so it is very important for me to remain involved in this community and committed to my health & well-being while I’m continuing to heal.” –  yoga program participant

"I can't believe I have found someone who has also been through ovarian cancer treatment. I was feeling so alone. It's wonderful to have the opportunity to exchange contact information, because she has offered to help support me through my treatment." - Hike for Hope participant
