As oncology nurses and caregivers, you – and your participation – are critical in allowing Strands of Strength to help others. We rely on you, the people who work with oncology patients every day, to identify those patients who can benefit from our services.
When you identify a candidate, please inform your hospital system’s Strands of Strength volunteer coordinator. This person will contact Strands of Strength and we’ll see to it that the patient receives a wig or hairpiece in a timely manner.
Thank you for helping.
