Friends Together offers a robust travel and lodging program to assist patients in accessing care. Whether help is needed with a gas card to help offset the cost of frequent trips to care or a long-distance appointment, we are here for you. Additionally, we have two vans and a team of volunteer drivers who are committed to helping us get patients wherever they need to go for cancer related care. Need to be away from home due testing, treatment or a procedure? We can help coordinate lodging and offset some of those costs as well. Contact us at (989) 356-3231 or stop by our office for more information.

Friends Together offers a variety of support groups and activities to survivors, patients, caregivers and loved ones. Social and emotional health are important to overall health. Connecting with others whether in a support group or in a shared activity, can be both informative and uplifting. We offer both in person and online support groups, workshops and guest speaker events and even art classes. You are not alone. Check our calendar of events for more information!

Friends Together is able to provide support for some tangible items that patients need or find helpful during treatment and recovery. Help is available for things like specialized bras, prosthetics, and wigs. We also have a Care and Comfort Boutique within our office that allows patients to “shop” for items they may need for free. The boutique includes a range of things like seat belt cushions and drainage tube belts, frequently needed over-the-counter products, travel totes, head scarves and chemo caps, comfortable throw blankets, puzzle books and more. Drop by our office at 105 Prentiss, Alpena, MI to learn more and access these items.
