No one should face a cancer diagnosis alone.

The volunteers at the Gritman Medical Center Cancer Resource Center have access to research, answers and most of all, they have compassion to help all those facing cancer or those in a support role.

The Beginning
Our award-winning Cancer Resource Center opened in 2007 in a cooperative effort with the American Cancer Society. It is staffed entirely by Gritman volunteers, many of whom have had cancer or have aided family members through a cancer diagnosis.

Center Services
The center is open five days a week and offers access to many resources, including American Cancer Society research and other non-profits that provide various support for those undergoing cancer treatment.

Prosthesis and wigs are available through the center as are hats, lap quilts and other hand-made items generously donated by area residents.

Volunteers are available to sit with cancer patients as they undergo chemotherapy in Gritman's Outpatient Clinic.

Award Winning
The Cancer Resource Center has grown into a tool used by many Latah County residents and their families. The center was honored as a 2009 Healthcare Heroes recipient in 2009. The honor was given by the Idaho Business Review.
