| Additional Info | Boston Cancer Support was created for anyone throughout the state of MA who has been touched by cancer. We believe that cancer patients, families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals equipped with local resources and collaborative communities can more easily navigate a diagnosis and treatment plan, which, in turn, helps lead to better health outcomes. We work online and within communities to provide cancer support information, education, resources, and outreach programs across the state. One of our signature programs is the The Treatment Transport Program, which aims to eliminate transportation as a barrier to cancer care. |
