Cancer and Terminal Illness Support Resources

Cancer and chronic illness resources for patients and families in Richmond, VA:

Pink Chair Project - RVA

From Pink Chair Project: "We want you to know you are not alone. We are committed individuals helping women recover from breast cancer surgery. Our goal is to provide you with a chair that will help you sleep while you recover and cannot lay flat in a bed. Our idea to provide electric recliners in Virginia came from a mastectomy patient, and our leader, Linda Caruthers. With support from the Hawthorne Cancer Center at Johnston Willis Hospital, the idea became a reality."

The Hawthorne Cancer Foundation

Serving the Richmond, VA Cancer Community

(from website) "Since its inception in 1965, The Hawthorne Cancer Foundation (formerly The Johns Cancer Foundation) has served hundreds of cancer patients and their families throughout the greater Richmond metropolitan community. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing assistance to individuals and their families while they wage their battle against cancer. With the combined strength of The Hawthorne Cancer Foundation and The Hawthorne Cancer Center located at Johnston-Willis Campus within the Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute, we are able to assist cancer patients in a variety of ways through financial and emotional support.

The Hawthorne Cancer Center

The Hawthorne is a unique cancer resource center in that it provides a single location in the metropolitan Richmond area for all cancer patients, their families and friends to gather to gain social and emotional support as well as receive cancer educational and resource materials.

Regardless of where you receive medical care, you can take advantage of the many resources and the comfortable surroundings of The Hawthorne. If you have been touched by cancer, The Hawthorne has been created with you in mind."
