Mentor Program – One-on-one support from someone who has been there.

Some patients benefit from listening to others that have completed their care. This shared experience can help reduce any fear and anxiety they have as they begin the treatment process.

That is why CentraState began the Cancer Mentor Program. If you are interested in connecting with newly diagnosed patients who you can share your firsthand experiences with in order to help them cope with their diagnosis and treatment – call us!

How the Mentor Program works:

Mentors are selected based on things they have in common with the requesting patient, for example diagnosis, age and circumstances.
Mentors will contact requesting patients by phone. All information will be kept confidential.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please call (732) 303-5290 for more information.
