Survivor Journeys – An Organization Supporting Your Cancer Journey
Posted on May 7, 2019
Because no one should have to travel their cancer journey alone – this is why Survivor Journeys was established. The mission of Survivor Journeys is to provide emotional, social and educational support services to cancer survivors, their families and caregivers through a community-based support network.
Survivor Journeys’ network consists of professionals from diverse clinical and community backgrounds including physicians, behavioral health specialists, integrative treatment providers, cancer survivors and community leaders. Survivor Journeys is dedicated to providing cancer survivors and their loved ones with unique survivorship services in western Massachusetts, northern Connecticut and beyond.
Established in March of 2015 by Dr. Jay Burton after his own journey through Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Survivor Journeys is a non-profit organization affiliated with Springfield Medical Associates’ Primary Care Cancer Survivorship Program.
