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. |
