About Us
People Connected By Cancer is a non-profit
organization dedicated to assuring that the cancer survivors and caregivers
of Oklahoma and their families and friends are aware of the resources
available to serve them.
People Connected By Cancer is the culmination of a cooperative effort between
multiple Oklahoma medical centers, their staff members and many cancer-related
societies and organizations in Oklahoma. This partnership aims to raise
awareness of the scope of cancer prevalence in our community by connecting
survivors with each other and with those groups offering supportive care.
How we support those touched by cancer
The Oklahoma Cancer Resource Guide: A list of internet resources and statewide support groups arranged by cancer type. This guide also includes resources for financial aid, nutrition, wellness and survivorship. Click here for the online version and PDF forms.
People Connected By Cancer Event: a free annual event which provides survivors and their caregivers and families the opportunity to participate in one-on-one or small group interactions to ask questions, pick-up materials on service and support-related information, learn where to go or call to get help, and how to provide support for others.
This Website also contains a Links and Resources page, intended to provide information about upcoming education and support events in the cancer community and also as a gateway to information on Oklahoma resources.
