THE HOME OF PEER-TO-PEER
VIRTUAL SUPPORT GROUPS
Virtual Support Groups
AnCan was the first to innovate virtual, real time, video chat support groups in multiple conditions moderated by patients for patients.
Patient Navigation
Through our Groups, participants can connect organically with others to help with individual patient navigation for treatment at all stages.
Exercise & Wellness
In partnership with MedaFit, we connect patients and their medical team to exercise programs through highly qualified exercise counselors.
National Advocacy
Answer Cancer is active on a national stage working to improve patient care.
About Us
AnCan is about people helping people, peer-to-peer ….. we are peers living with various conditions and situations, who help others faced with similar issues. We do this collectively and individually by providing answers, support and navigation to empower people living with serious and chronic conditions to Be Your Own Best Advocate.

Upcoming Groups & EVENTS
*Days may change due to holidays
AnCan Foundation is a volunteer organization with a handful of paid staff. All our events are free, and all groups are free and drop-in. AnCan has limited capacity to provide one-one-one navigation. If we do, it is provided by volunteer peer mentors. Out of respect for their time, we request a donation in an amount you see fit. No one is turned away.
