PATIENT SERVICES
Real help, freely given - the human kind.
A cancer diagnosis brings medication co-pays, travel to treatment, and a stack of costs that arrive at the worst possible time. CCRC steps in with direct financial assistance, support groups, and patient programs — at no cost to any Reno County family.
Resources for everyone
We work to meet you where you are.
For Reno County residents
Every dollar raised here stays here, for our neighbors.
One-on-one with our director
A real conversation about what your family actually needs.
When treatment strains everything, we help carry the cost.
From medication co-pays to the miles between home and treatment, the bills add up fast. CCRC offers direct financial assistance in two benefit categories, based on where you are in your journey.
Active Patients
The period after diagnosis when therapies are being administered — including surgical intervention, chemotherapy, or radiation. The season when costs come fastest, and we can help the most.
Item 1 | Item 2 | Item 3 | etc.
Post-Treatment Patients
The period once active treatment has ended — up to five years after your initial diagnosis. Recovery has its own costs, and support continues well past the last appointment.
It starts with a conversation.
Each patient sits down with our Executive Director, Ashley Thompson, who listens to your situation and maps out exactly how CCRC can help — built around your family's individual needs.

Hope
WOMEN'S GROUP
A group for women who are cancer patients and survivors to come together and support one another, share what helps, and remind each other they're not alone.
Cancer Connections
PATIENTS · SURVIVORS · CAREGIVERS
A group for cancer patients, survivors, and the caregivers beside them — coming together across Reno County to lean on one another through every stage.
Care that reaches past the bills — into everyday life.
Through trusted local partners, CCRC connects patients of every age to programs that tend to the whole person — from the classroom a child leaves behind to the strength a survivor rebuilds.
Through our partner: Love, Chloe Foundation in Salina, KS
Monkey in My Chair
A serious illness can pull a child out of school — a day here and there, or weeks at a time. Through Monkey in My Chair, each child receives a kit with a big stuffed monkey that takes their seat in class while they're away, keeping them connected to their classmates and their place in the room.
Wig Support & Brows of Hope
A partnership to support women through their cancer journey — helping you feel like yourself when treatment changes so much.
Wig Support
Reflections assists with wig fittings and ongoing maintenance, so a wig feels comfortable and right for as long as you need it.
LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA
Survivors work with trained Y staff to rebuild strength, flexibility, and endurance — healing the whole person in a supportive community.
Start with a conversation.
If you're facing a diagnosis — or caring for someone who is — reach out. We'll figure out what helps, together.
