Eligibility
Children and adults living in Allen, Adams, DeKalb, Huntington, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells, or Whitley counties in Indiana who have been diagnosed with any type of cancer may use our programs and services.
We serve Allen, Adams, DeKalb, Huntington, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells, and Whitley counties. Our service area does not include Ohio or Michigan.
To access our services, you need to get registered as a client. Registration is essentially a conversation, where your Client Advocate will learn about you and your diagnosis.
You have a couple options to get started:
You can complete the online Request Services form. Someone will call you within 1-2 business days to schedule an appointment for you to visit (if possible) or register over the phone.
You can also complete a walk-in registration. Visit our headquarters at 6316 Mutual Dr. or our Warsaw office at 2190 North Pointe Dr., no appointment necessary. We’re open Mondays 9-7 and Tuesdays-Fridays 9-5 at 6316 Mutual Dr., and Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 10-4 in Warsaw.

Programs & Services
Our programs and services are designed to help you and your family with the emotional and financial burdens associated with cancer. We offer health supplies, medical equipment, financial assistance for cancer-related costs, emotional support, support groups, massage, exercise classes, and more. We encourage you to visit our Programs & Services page for a complete list.
No, most programs and services are offered to those with cancer and their families at no cost.
Families who don’t qualify for financial assistance will need to make a contribution to receive nutritional drinks (at a much lower cost than buying it at the store).
There is an income-based fee for each therapeutic counseling session with a licensed counselor.
Special series (such as Clarity, art workshops, etc.) often include a participation or supply fee.
Cost is never a barrier to get help, so talk to your Client Advocate if you are unable to pay for a program you would benefit from.
We have thousands of items in our warehouse, including incontinence products, hygiene supplies, wound care items, wheelchairs, walkers, and much more. If you are looking for something specific, please call our office to inquire about its availability.
