Providing Cancer Support Services in Michiana


A cancer diagnosis can be life changing, not only affecting you physically, but also emotionally and, sometimes, financially.  But you are not alone.  Whatever your needs might be, RiverBend Cancer Services is here for you. 

RiverBend Cancer Services is a local agency, whose primary goal is to assist people with cancer and their caregivers in the St. Joseph County, Indiana, by providing financial assistance, advocacy services and emotional support.  Free services include:

  • Prescription drug financial assistance

  • Medical equipment loan

  • Providing nutritional supplements

  • Counseling and support groups for you and family members

  • Providing wigs and prostheses

  • Resource Library

In the battle against cancer, don’t go it alone. Click here to contact a RiverBend Cancer Services staff member, who will gladly help with answers to your questions.

RiverBend Cancer Services is also committed to providing cancer education and cancer prevention screening in the Michiana community, especially those who have no access to regular medical care. We often offer free programs designed to help bring awareness and early detection of cancer when treatment will be most successful. For upcoming programs, click here.

All our services are made possible through the generous support of donors -- most of whom are connected to the Michiana community. All donations stay in our community, allowing us to provide help and hope to people at a stressful time. To help us, in our mission to help others in the Michiana community in their battle against cancer, click here.
