April is Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month 💙

At Hope Cancer Resources, we’re committed to raising awareness and supporting those impacted by esophageal cancer. Early symptoms can be subtle, but recognizing changes like difficulty swallowing, persistent heartburn, or unexplained weight loss can make a difference.

If you or a loved one is facing a diagnosis, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Our team provides support, resources, and guidance every step of the way.

We’re here to bring hope, education, and community to those who need it most.

We loved connecting with everyone—and getting to meet CJ Beatty and Razorback superfan Canaan Sandy made it even more special! ❤️

We had the joy of celebrating our incredible clinic and office volunteers with a special brunch in their honor 💛

We are beyond grateful for the time, heart, and dedication they pour into supporting Hope Cancer Resources and the patients we serve every day. In 2025 alone, our volunteers gave nearly 2,000 hours of service and packed over 630 comfort bags that were distributed to cancer patients at Highlands clinics. And already in 2026, they’ve contributed more than 560 hours!

From sitting alongside patients during treatment, to stocking snacks and drinks, to helping in our office and keeping comfort bags ready, our volunteers truly are the heart of our mission. They live out our values of Compassion, Integrity, Professionalism, Relationships, and Stewardship in everything they do.

A special thank you to Lekan Ajayi, PharmD, Chief Operating Officer, and Shemika Wilson, Director of Building Operations at Highlands Oncology, for joining us at the brunch and helping celebrate the volunteers who support the patients we serve together.

To each and every one of our volunteers: thank you. We could not do this work without you.

Shana and Rhenda work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep everything organized, efficient, and moving forward. Their dedication ensures our team can focus on what matters most—serving our patients and their caregivers.

This Volunteer Appreciation Week, we’re celebrating the incredible hearts behind Hope 💙

One of our volunteers shares:
“I love having the opportunity to be a comforting, kind presence for those walking through a difficult journey… you never truly know how much a listening ear, helpful hand, or a simple smile can affect someone’s day.”

When asked to describe Hope in one word: Generous

Our volunteers see firsthand that a cancer diagnosis brings more than medical challenges—it often comes with logistical hurdles and added stress. Because of them, patients have support navigating it all.

To every Hope volunteer: thank you for showing up, giving back, and making a difference in the lives of those we serve. 💙

Our team is here to help with resources, guidance, and a community that understands.
