Lawrence County Cancer Patient Services

Cancer Support Community Central Indiana exists so that no one faces cancer alone. For over 20 years, we’ve led the charge in Indiana to build a vibrant community of cancer survivors and their loved ones. We focus on providing psychosocial support to complement medical treatments in order to nurture every part of a patient as they learn and grow and recover. With any cancer diagnosis come feelings of hopelessness and social isolation. It’s CSC’s goal to make sure cancer patients don’t have to go it alone. Our education programs aim to empower people impacted by cancer with the knowledge necessary to take an active role in their fight for recovery. Our wellness programs are designed to strengthen both body and mind over the course of the cancer journey. Our groups and events give our members the support they need to confront cancer. All of our programs are provided free of charge to all people – patients and loved ones alike – impacted by a cancer diagnosis.

We invite you to check out our friends at Breast Cancer Awareness Trust and see what you can do to help raise awareness for Breast Cancer and what you can contribute to this great organization.
