COLORECTAL CANCER
Education & Support Programs

Buddy Program
The Buddies in our program are trained volunteers who have been through cancer treatment themselves and now provide short-term one-on-one support and information over the telephone to others facing cancer.  If you would like to talk to a Kimmel Cancer Center Buddy please call 215-955-8370. The Program Coordinator will explain the program and then match you with a buddy who is similar to you in terms of cancer diagnosis, treatment, and other criteria such as age and gender.

Current Topics
This monthly educational program is for people facing all types of cancer. At each meeting an expert in the field presents a topic related to cancer detection, treatment, recovery or psychosocial issues. Ample time is given for questions, answers and networking. These meetings are held on a Wednesday from 12-1:30pm. A current schedule is available, as well as online registration. For More Information, please call 215-955-8370.
The KCC Education & Support Programs web page has further information on all programs, as well as information on Special Events.
