Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
PATIENT SERVICES PROGRAM: A DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER CAN BRING MANY CHALLENGES TO A PERSON'S LIFE AND THOSE WHO CARE FOR THEM. CANCER ACTION'S PATIENT SERVICES PROGRAM PROVIDES DIRECT SERVICES, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, EDUCATION, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE TO INDIVIDUALS FACING THE MANY CHALLENGES CANCER BRINGS TO THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE GREATER KANSAS CITY AREA. CANCER ACTION OFFERS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT ADDRESS THE PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL NEEDS OF THOSE WITH CANCER AND THEIR FAMILIES, MAKING A DIFFERENCE ONE PERSON AT A TIME. PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ARE OFFERED TO ANY PERSON THROUGH EVERY STEP OF THEIR CANCER JOURNEY. SOME OF THESE SERVICES INCLUDE PRESCRIPTION ASSISTANCE, NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS, WIGS AND HEADWEAR, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES, EDUCATION AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT. 2021 WAS A VERY CHALLENGING YEAR, BOTH FOR OUR CLIENTS AND OUR ORGANIZATION. 1,300 CANCER PATIENTS RECEIVED MUCH NEEDED SUPPORT TO RELIEVE DISTRESS AND IMPROVE THEIR WELL-BEING. MANY OF CANCER ACTION SERVICES ARE NOT ONLY LIFE-IMPROVING, BUT LIFE-SAVING TO THOSE WHO ARE MOST IN NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY.
COMMUNITY EDUCATION PROGRAM: PROVIDES EDUCATION ON PREVENTION, EARLY DETECTION AND WAYS TO REDUCE A PERSON'S RISK OF CANCER, AS WELL AS A VARIETY OF TOPICS RELATED TO CANCER AND CANCER CARE. EDUCATION IS PROVIDED THROUGH VARIOUS METHODS. THERE WAS LITTLE OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMUNITY EDUCATION DURING 2021 DUE TO THE RESTRICTIONS FROM THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
VOLUNTEER PROGRAM: VOLUNTEER PROGRAM RECRUITS, TRAINS, AND MANAGES THE MANY VOLUNTEERS THAT HELP OFFER SUPPORT, COMFORT AND CARE TO THE AGENCY'S CLIENTS. MANY OF OUR VOLUNTEER GROUPS WERE SUSPENDED DURING THE PANDEMIC, YET MANY VOLUNTEERS WORKED IN THEIR HOMES, SHARING THEIR TIME AND TALENTS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF THOSE WITH CANCER IN THEIR COMMUNITY. WE HAVE A NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS WHO RAISE FUNDS THROUGH SPECIAL EVENTS HELD DURING THE YEAR.
