 CanCare is an interfaith volunteer cancer ministry that matches newly-diagnosed cancer patients and family members with trained cancer survivors and family members for one-on-one emotional support.
These volunteers have survived and thrived with the same or similar cancer diagnosis and treatment. They provide hope and encouragement. CanCare volunteers become havens for patients and family members to speak with openly without feeling like they are overburdening their loved ones. CanCare volunteers are people of faith serving as goodwill ambassadors to patients and families looking for support. CanCare volunteers also visit cancer patients in most of our local hospitals. Please visit with David Johnson, Ashford’s CanCare liaison, or our clergy staff for additional information. You can also click on this link to CanCare www.cancare.org or call them directly at 713.461.0028. All calls to CanCare are without fee or obligation and are confidential. David is available at 281-584-9699 or
