Totes of Hope
Our Totes of Hope program helps provide Centre County, PA survivors with resources and items to support them through their journey with cancer.
Each Tote has a notebook/organizer to help keep track of information about your diagnosis, treatement plan, questions to ask, appointments, test results, resource people, follow-up care and other notes.
The bag also contains a water bottle, blanket and other helpful items.
If you are a resident of Centre County, PA and have not received a "Tote Bag" please contact Linda at 814-238-6220.
Cancer Support Group
Our cancer support group is for people with all types of cancer.
Caregivers, family members and friends are welcome to attend.
These small groups of 8-10 foster the development of friendship, support and encouragement and is also an opportunity to gain information and learn new skills and techniques for living with cancer.
Topics are based on suggestions from the group.
Meetings are held monthly using a hybrid format with attendance in-person or via zoom, generally on the third Monday of each month at 11:30 am.
In-person meetings are held in the Pink Zone Resource Center in the Shaner Cancer Pavilion at Mount Nittany Medical Center, State College, PA.
Visit our Cancer Survivors' Association Facebook Page for additional information.
Celebration Of Life Activities
Celebration of Life activities are held throughout the year for cancer survivors, their caregivers, families and friends.
One event is usually held in November and another in the Spring.
These events are often planned with the help of students from Penn State in the RPTM (Recreation, Parks and Tourism Management) program. These are times of celebration and being thankful, with entertainment, fun activities and enjoyment.
