HNCA Partners with Imerman Angels to Offer Peer-to-Peer Mentoring | | | |
| |
A cancer diagnosis is overwhelming. Even with the best medical team and family support, sometimes what helps the most is being able to talk to someone who’s been through the same diagnosis and treatment. HNCA is working with our partner, Imerman Angels, to create a head and neck cancer peer-to-peer mentorship program. The program will match newly diagnosed patients with survivors who match their own situations as closely as possible. This “buddy system” will allow patients to share their concerns, ask questions, and have someone to talk to who truly understands the patient experience. More information will be available soon on the program and how to get involved. | | | |

Help Researchers Understand How COVID-19 Has Affected HNC Patients | |  | We hope you all are staying safe and doing well! As you may know, COVID-19 has had a dramatic impact on the global community at large and also that of the head and neck oncology field. Given the balance of minimizing transmission and providing crucial care to you all, your care may have been impacted in various ways. We would like to invite you all, active head and neck cancer patients, survivors, or caregivers, to complete a short survey that will address your needs and concerns during the COVID-19 era. Family members, friends, social workers, or non-profit staff members can fill out this survey on behalf of a patient. All survey responses are anonymous and will be used for research purposes to help us best address the challenges faced by head and neck cancer patients. We would greatly appreciate your participation and additionally, are holding a raffle drawing for a Vitamix blender and/or HNC patient-specific cookbooks to express our gratitude. The deadline for the survey is August 15th, 2020. | | | | | |
