Are you or someone you care about in need of a cancer support group,
transportation for medical treatments or financial assistance with
prescription drugs? Locate resources for these needs and more on the
recently launched website www.CancerResourceGuideNCF.org. The Cancer Resource Guide of North Central Florida
is a public service of North Central Florida Cancer Control
Collaborative (NCFCCC), WellFlorida Council and the Florida Department
of Health Cancer Control Program.
The Cancer Resource Guide of North Central Florida,
compiled by WellFlorida and NCFCCC, includes support groups, community
and caregiver resources, financial support services and tobacco
cessation activities throughout the region. The website also links
viewers to national organizations and their websites. The online guide
lists a wide range of cancer-related resources: summer camps for
children with cancer; sources for breast prosthesis and wigs; and
medical assistance for individuals who are uninsured or under-insured,
including low cost/no cost mammograms.
Through
workshops, successful grant applications, regional cancer data and
communications tools (such as The Cancer Resource Guide and The Cancer
Resource Blog), NCFCCC supports the region's cancer community with
resources, networking opportunities and education. Oversight and
leadership of NCFCCC is provided by WellFlorida. To learn more about
