Cancer patients and their families face many physical and mental challenges with a diagnosis. CancerLINC exists to address the non-medical issues that arise so that you can focus your energy on health, healing, and spending time with loved ones.
Please utilize the free guides below in addition to working with our team to help ease the burden of your diagnosis.
Over the past 27 years, CancerLINC has built a strong network with other organizations in the Greater Richmond Area dedicated to providing care to cancer patients in our community.
This regularly-updated Community Resources Guide contains over 100 resources for a variety of non-medical needs including:
- Housing assistance

- Health insurance coverage
- Medical expenses
- Mental health services/support groups
Having your life planning documents (will, advance medical directive, and power of attorney) in order can provide great peace of mind. Please review this guide if you or a loved one are considering putting these documents in place.
In it, we describe what each document is, how it could benefit you and your loved ones, and how CancerLINC can help you execute these documents.
