The Patient and Family Cancer Support Center (formerly the Cancer Resource Center) supports whole-person care by providing information, wellness programming and community connections to anyone facing cancer and their loved ones. Since opening in 1997, we've continued to offer several support groups, classes and workshops at no cost.
The support center is part of the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center.
