28 Apr Supporting Cancer Caregivers Across California
April 28, 2026 ~ Caregivers play a critical role in supporting individuals diagnosed with cancer and helping navigate everything that comes with it. Whether you are supporting a partner, parent, child, or friend, you are often balancing emotional support, medical coordination, financial responsibilities, and your own well-being. It is meaningful work, but it can also be overwhelming.
To better support caregivers across California, Triage Cancer is offering a comprehensive program on behalf of the California Dialogue on Cancer (CDOC). This initiative is designed to provide practical tools, education, and support for those caring for individuals diagnosed with cancer.
