  • The Women's Cancer Resource Center
    In 1986 all of this changed. A small group of women with cancer created the Women's Cancer Resource Center to provide direct services to women with cancer as well as advocate for broad changes in the health care system. For the first two years, the Center was simply an answering machine in someone's living room. A committee of twenty women took turns answering calls, mostly from women with recent cancer diagnoses seeking information and support.
