Patients, visitors, families and community members are invited to visit our Cancer Resource Center in the SOMC Cancer Center, off the main lobby, to obtain the latest information on cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The office provides information through education, and Internet access. You can receive information on programs and services provided by information provided by our volunteers.

Sometimes, the only person who can possibly understand what you are going through is someone who has been there herself. The Breast Cancer Support Group is offered by the SOMC Cancer Center to provide ongoing support and fellowship to women diagnosed with breast cancer. For more information call (740) 356-7490. 

Sometimes, the only person who can possibly understand what you are going through is someone who has been there.

The group meets every other month on the 3rd Wednesday of the month.

For more information or to join the mailing list, call our Breast Health Navigator, Kim Richendollar at 740-356-PINK (7465) or email [email protected].

Donate to the SOMC Patient Compassion Fund and Breast Cancer Patient Compassion Funds

The SOMC Cancer Center has developed two fund accounts to support cancer patients while undergoing active cancer care. These accounts are called the SOMC Patient Compassion Fund and the SOMC Breast Cancer Patient Compassion Fund. The SOMC Patient Compassion Fund supports all patients under active cancer care. The SOMC Breast Cancer Compassion Fund is dedicated to the support of breast cancer patients.

The funds are supported by donations and are utilized for patient assistance needs such as utilities, medications, transportation and common necessities needed during cancer care. The social worker from the Cancer Center collaborates with the Cancer Center Director to determine the needs and allocations of the funds.
