A cancer diagnosis changes everything. Suddenly, patients and families are faced with decisions, fear, and uncertainty.

The Cancer Support Community at Lee Health Cancer Institute provides a place where people can come together, share their experiences, and find support from those who truly understand.

From mental health services and education to wellness programs and peer connections, these resources help patients feel less alone and more empowered.

As one participant shared, “I didn’t have to figure it out by myself. I found people who understood what I was going through.”

Because this program is fully donor funded, these services are available at no cost to patients and families.

Your generosity helps lift the burden, provide hope, and keep people moving forward.
