About us
Cancer Hope Network's mission is to empower cancer patients and their loved ones with hope through one-on-one peer mentorship support from survivors and caregivers who have faced a similar experience. Through our one-on-one Peer Mentorship Program, we provide personalized, supportive connections for patients and caregivers based on their diagnosis and treatment, as well as their mental, emotional, social, cultural, and spiritual needs, individual lifestyle choices, and other personal circumstances. Cancer Hope Network was the first one-on-one peer mentorship program of its kind for cancer patients and their loved ones, and we were the model for many similar programs that exist today. For more than 40 years, we’ve provided connections and resources to more than 50,000 individuals facing cancer. Over the last four decades, we’ve built on the simple, yet profound idea that through connection with someone who’s been there, cancer patients and their loved ones can navigate their experience with a greater sense of well-being and hope.
