Cancer Assistance Program The Cancer Assistance Program is a community-based, not-for-profit organization offering free services for individuals living with cancer.

The Cancer Assistance Program (CAP) is a community-based not-for-profit organization that provides free services for individuals affected by cancer. Services are practical in nature and are intended to create access and remove barriers to care, improve day-to-day quality of life and reduce the financial impact associated with a cancer diagnosis. Services fall into four categories:

1. transportation to and from cancer-related medical appointments;
2. loans of home health equipment – as many pieces as required for as long as necessary;
3. access to parking for appointments taking place at the Juravinski Cancer Centre (JCC) and Juravinski Hospital; and
4. personal care and comfort products including monthly issuances of oral nutritional supplements and adult incontinence products as well as the provision of wigs and alternative head coverings, breast prostheses and mastectomy bras. Transportation support is available exclusively for residents of the greater region of Hamilton. All other services are available for residents of the greater region of Hamilton as well as surrounding communities. Charitable Registration # 14026 2759 RR0001

This week, a CAP CARE Gift Bag filled with thoughtful comforts and essentials is on its way to support someone facing a cancer diagnosis. 💛 We’re wishing the recipient comfort and care.

A CAP CARE Gift Bag can be gifted by one caring heart or from a whole circle of support. Families, friends, coworkers, and neighbours often come together to send a bag as a shared gesture of love. It’s a practical way to show a small gesture from many hands that carry powerful support.

Purchase now, or help us spread the word! https://cancerassist.ca/gift-bag/

Today is Canada’s national giving day for donor-advised funds — an opportunity to turn charitable giving into meaningful support for people in our community living with cancer.

A gift from your donor-advised fund to the Cancer Assistance Program helps provide essential transportation, practical support and compassionate care to people facing cancer treatment — and helps ensure they don’t have to face it alone.

$17 billion in Canadian donor-advised funds is already committed to charity. DAF Day is the one day the whole sector celebrates that generosity in motion.

If you have a donor-advised fund, consider recommending a gift to CAP today. 💙

Listen to the most recent episode of the Cancer Assist Podcast — Indigenous Cancer Care: Culture, Trust and Healing

What does culturally safe cancer care look like for Indigenous patients? On this episode of the Cancer Assist Podcast, Dr. Bill Evans is joined by Jennifer Smith, Regional Indigenous Cancer Lead, and Melissa, Indigenous Outreach Coordinator with the Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant Regional Cancer Program.

Together, they explore the historical and present-day barriers Indigenous people can face when accessing cancer care, and why trust, relationships and cultural understanding are so important.

From cancer screening and patient navigation to traditional medicines, ceremony and the idea of “Two-Eyed Seeing,” Jennifer and Melissa share how Indigenous and Western approaches to health can work together to create a more supportive cancer experience.
