SPOHNC National Survivors Volunteer Network

Recently, SPOHNC initiated a "National Survivor Volunteer Network." The network consists of both volunteers and survivors. Through this service, volunteers who have had a similar diagnosis and treatment program are matched with survivors, their family members, or those just beginning their journey, or recovering from side effects of cancer or its treatment. We encourage you contact us if you have questions about your diagnosis, or are having trouble coping with an oral, head or neck cancer diagnosis, its treatment, or recovery process.

These volunteers offer survivors information, support, hope and encouragement. This network is always looking for more volunteers. Many people feel a desire to "give back" after reaching survivor status. This can be done by volunteering to help others who traversing rough spots in their treatment or recovery, or who are just beginning their journey. To be part of this network committee, please call 1-800-377-0928 or send an e-mail to info@spohnc.org. For more information on volunteering, read on...

Please consider contributing your personal expertise by volunteering to help others in need!

WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU!
