Upcoming Events
Thanks to a grant from the ND Dept of Health and Human Services.
We are thrilled to offer free monthly social support groups for cancer survivors. These welcoming gatherings provide a safe, relaxed space to connect with others who understand the survivorship journey, share experiences, build friendships, and find encouragement.
Whether you are newly navigating life after treatment or have been a survivor for many years, you are welcome to join us. There is no cost to participate, and everyone is encouraged to take part at their own comfort level. Together, we can celebrate milestones, navigate challenges, and strengthen our community.
