The Gastrointestinal Support Group is offered by the Cancer Centers of Hawaii Pacific Health for patients who are receiving gastrointestinal cancer treatment (e.g. esophagus, stomach, intestines, pancreas, gallbladder, liver and rectum) and for gastrointestinal cancer survivors.
Spouses and significant others of patients are also welcome. The support group provides a safe place for patients to learn coping methods, improve well-being and build connections with others who have had similar experiences.
Support group meetings are free and facilitated by health care professionals who are members of the cancer care teams at Hawaii Pacific Health.
