Cancer Support Group Meetings
The Cancer Support Group meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30 PM on the second floor of Kateri Memorial Hospital. These meetings are open to all. The group, a grassroots initiative that began in the 90s, is currently run by community members with the support of Elaine Kezar, RN.
We offer a safe, non-judgmental space where people can share their experiences and listen to others.
