Cancer Support Groups
The diagnosis and treatment of cancer can be a difficult time for patients and their families. We understand the stress that patients and their families may go through during the process. We offer support so you don’t have to cope with it alone.
The Cancer Care and Infusion Therapy Center offers several on-site support groups for patients, survivors, family members and friends. All support groups meet at Covenant HealthCare Mackinaw, 5400 Mackinaw Road at Tittabawassee, the third floor Conference Room A (unless otherwise indicated). Check our Classes and Events calendar for updated information about specific topics.
For more information and to register, please call Jody Webb, LMSW at 989.583.5267, or Alison VanNorman, LMSW, OSW-C at 989.583.5268.
