The mission of Hope Cancer
Resources is to provide compassionate,
professional cancer support and education in the
Northwest Arkansas region today and tomorrow.
Our programs allow cancer patients to have
access to cancer services they need with a focus
on improving quality of life and lowering the
incidence of cancer in Northwest Arkansas.
Hope Cancer Resources employs a
highly-professional staff which includes a team
of licensed oncology social workers, a Spanish
interpreter, and certified health education
specialists. A transportation service is
provided to take patients to every cancer
treatment as needed as well as education to help
a patient during and after their treatment.
Financial assistance is also provided for
prescription medications, nutritional
supplements, gas cards, as well as everyday
living expenses to alleviate some of the
financial stress a patient and their family may
face.
Believing emotional support is essential for
healthy survivorship, we offer this service
ranging from a kind word or listening ear to
one-on-one, couples or family counseling
sessions with a licensed mental health
professional. Hope Cancer Resources also
provides emotional support in group settings.
In addition, Hope Cancer Resources will impact
the community by providing free cancer
screenings and cancer prevention education for
public schools, employers and the general
public. This education includes breast
self-examination, smoking cessation, reducing
tobacco use, promoting healthy lifestyles and
other means to reduce the risk of cancer.
The programs of Hope Cancer Resources are funded
in part through grants from the Cancer
Challenge, Ozark Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for
the Cure, the Walmart Foundation, Arkansas
Cancer Coalition, Pat and Willard Walker
Charitable Foundation, Delta Dental Foundation
of Arkansas and the Winthrop Rockefeller Cancer
Institute Auxiliary as well as corporation and
individual donations.
