About

The CARE Program is designed for people with cancer who receive their care and treatment at San Francisco General Hospital. Through the CARE Program, people diagnosed with cancer receive education and support, as well as a free, healthy, and delicious meal every week.

A cancer diagnosis changes a person’s life in powerful ways. CARE wants to make sure that no one goes through that experience alone. We want to help participants learn about ways to improve their health and well-being.

During each session, group members participate in relaxation exercises and share information and support. A different health professional visits each week to share information and skills that can help participants take care of themselves. Each session is intended to be interactive, experiential, and practical.
