Open Door Support Groups

Network of Strength

Meetings are held monthly throughout Chicagoland and Illinois for breast cancer patients and all concerned about breast cancer.

Trained facilitators are breast cancer survivors or social/health service providers. Many Open Door groups exclusively address the psycho-social needs of young and/or single women with breast cancer, newly diagnosed patients, or special population groups.
