C.A.R.E. | Cancer Awareness, Resources, and Education

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.

During each session of this 10 to 12 week series, 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.

A cancer diagnosis changes a person's life in powerful ways. Through the CARE program, we want to make sure that no one goes through that experiencew alone. We want to help participants learn about ways to improve their health and well-being. We want to introduce them to people who have a lot of knowledge about cancer - health care professionals and other people with cancer. Each week, group facilitators and guest speakers guide participants through disussion and activities. Participants and guest speakers share ideas and strategies that can have a positive effect on participants of the program.
