The Oncology Faith Project
Because Cancer Requires Us to Treat the Whole Person
Our Commitment:
Through clinical research and collaboration, the Oncology Faith Project will break through the barriers of healthcare systems today in order to give cancer patients easy access to the Christian Cancer Programing they need.
Our Truth:
Since cancer requires us to treat the whole person, cancer faith programs, like Cancer Companions, are vital components to a cancer patient’s treatment.
The Problem:
To help patients become aware of cancer faith programing options, this information needs to be included in a cancer center’s regimented intake process.
Our Solution:
Identify when in the intake process a cancer patient can be identified as needing cancer faith programing. Then design a method to get access to oncology workers so they can receive faith programing materials which they can then pass on to these patients.
