What We’ve Achieved Since November 2023
Published a charter newsletter for cancer patients and survivors—with primary distribution location at Boston’s BIDMC’s Cancer Clinic.
Published the spring / summer issue of The Ginkgo Leaf, the official newsletter of CPSP2023; it is web-based and PDF available to all subscribers.
Established a base for the Vendors Program: secured 15% discount rates from three vendors for all cancer patients, ranging from organic meats to acupuncture treatments to replacement glasses; plus, free tai chi classes for immunotherapy patients.
Established a base for the Buddies Program: a small cadre of sojourner buddies to help individuals who are undergoing treatments, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery.
