About the Peer Support Program

This special program provides special support on a one-to-one basis over the phone. Patients and caregivers are matched with peer support mentors according to criteria such as diagnosis, cancer stage, course of treatment, age, gender or by preference of the person seeking support. Talking with someone who has lived with cancer can be comforting and reduce the sense of anxiety and isolation that a cancer diagnosis brings.

If you are a patient or caregiver looking to join this program, please email [email protected], or call 949-722-6237 .

With any questions, please call 949-722-6237.
