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 | Virtual Support Calls

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.
