Our Story The
mission of Hope Cancer Resources is to provide
compassionate, professional cancer support and education in
the Northwest Arkansas region today and tomorrow. Our vision
is to provide hope and enhance the quality of life by
expanding prevention, wellness, and comprehensive cancer
support services in our region.
Hope Cancer Resources employs a highly professional staff
which includes licensed oncology social workers, two
certified tobacco treatment specialists, one who is also
certified as a personal trainer and cancer exercise
specialist. We provide transportation 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 provided for prescription medications,
nutritional supplements, dental care, 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 counseling services 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 cancer prevention education for
public schools, churches, businesses, and civic
organizations in our region. Prevention education includes
sun and UV safety, skin wellness, tobacco prevention and
cessation, and informational seminars on the basics of
cancer and healthy lifestyle behaviors to lower cancer risk.
Our Wellness Center for Hope is designed to enhance the
quality of life in survivors and caregivers by restoring
physical activity, optimizing nutrition and healthy weight,
and developing healthy behaviors and lifestyles.
The programs of Hope Cancer Resources are funded in
part through grants, special events, corporate and
individual donations as well as the Hope Cancer Resources
Foundation.
Our Values
Our History
In September 2009, Northwest Arkansas Radiation Therapy
Institute (NARTI) and HOPE, Inc. merged their patient
support and community outreach services to become Hope
Cancer Resources. By bringing these two organizations
together, the boards of directors created an entirely new
organization to provide cancer support and education to the
communities in Northwest Arkansas.
