We’ll share more details soon. Thank you for your continued support of patients through the cancer care support services offered through the Gritman Foundation.
The Gritman Cancer Care Fund is the best way to donate to cancer care in our region; it allows the Gritman Foundation to support cancer patients in countless ways. This fund supports Bosom Buddies, Light a Candle, cancer-care equipment, helps patients on a need-by-need basis, and much more.
The Gritman Foundation Light a Candle Program helps people in our region who are facing cancer. Designed to ease some of the burdens that come with facing cancer, we can help with services like housekeeping, grocery assistance, massage therapy, gas cards and more.
Early detection saves lives, and regular mammograms are the best way to detect breast cancer early. Bosom Buddies provides free screening mammograms to local women who are unable to pay for the screening on their own. The screening mammograms are available to women who receive their medical care in Latah County. A physician’s referral is required.
No One Fights Alone
We caught up with some past Pink Tea and Pink Cocktail speakers to see where their journeys have taken them. In each testimony, there is a central theme that reminds us that no one fights alone.
Tina McClure
We have been fortunate to hear the truly inspirational stories of people fighting cancer and how we at Gritman Medical Center have played a role in their lives. In this video, Tina McClure shares her life-changing experience.
Maria Horta Vorse
We have been fortunate to hear stories from cancer survivors like Maria Horta Vorse and her husband, Chad Vorse. A common theme arose from the survivors who have spoken – no one fights alone, and when a community comes together to support someone battling cancer, special and lifelong bonds are made.
LaRae Pearson
LaRae Pearson, a past speaker at the Gritman Pink Tea and Pink Cocktail, has a unique story of how a mammogram can change your life, even if you don't think you need one. You are never alone on the cancer care journey and have supporters who will help fight the challenges in front of you.
