🧡 March is Kidney Cancer Awareness Month
Kidney Cancer Awareness Month is a time to raise awareness, encourage early detection, and support those facing a kidney cancer diagnosis.
Kidney cancer is among the ten most common cancers in the United States. Because it often develops without noticeable symptoms in the early stages, awareness and regular medical care are important. Some possible warning signs may include blood in the urine, persistent pain in the lower back or side, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, or a lump in the side or abdomen.
Certain factors can increase risk, including smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, family history, and long-term kidney disease. While not all cases can be prevented, healthy lifestyle choices and routine checkups can help with early detection.
At Hope Cancer Resources, we provide no-cost support services for cancer patients and their families in Northwest Arkansas, including patient navigation, counseling, nutrition support, transportation assistance, and more.
If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with cancer, you don’t have to face it alone.
We are incredibly honored to share that Hope Cancer Resources has been named the 2026 Northwest Arkansas Outstanding Business Awards – Nonprofit of the Year! 🏆
We were nominated alongside some truly amazing organizations—Children’s Safety Center, Scott Family Amazeum, Ozark Foundation, and Jeremiah Recovery House—all of which do incredible work in our community. To be recognized among them is such a meaningful honor.
This award belongs to our staff, board, volunteers, partners, and the entire community who believes in our mission. Every client served, every mile driven, every counseling session, every support group, and every act of compassion makes Hope Cancer Resources what it is.
Thank you for believing in our mission to support those facing cancer in Northwest Arkansas. đź’™
We are so grateful—and we’re celebrating this moment with all of you!

đź’™ March Is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month đź’™
March is dedicated to raising awareness about colorectal cancer — one of the most preventable and treatable cancers when detected early.
The American Cancer Society recommends that adults at average risk begin regular screening at age 45, and earlier for those with certain risk factors. They also report that colorectal cancer rates are increasing among younger adults, making awareness and early detection more important than ever.
✨ What you can do:
âś” Talk to your healthcare provider about screening options.
âś” Know your family history.
âś” Encourage friends and loved ones to get screened.
Early detection saves lives. Let’s raise awareness and take action this March. 💙

Our mission is to provide compassionate, professional cancer support and education in the Northwest Arkansas region today and tomorrow. Our vision is to provide hope and enhance quality of life by expanding prevention, wellness and comprehensive cancer support services in our region.
Dealing with a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, and we want to do everything we can to help patients and caregivers throughout the journey. We provide patient support, navigation, survivorship and wellness programs, and cancer prevention education at no cost for families and communities in our four-county region of Benton, Carroll, Madison and Washington.
We offer a continuum of emotional support including crisis intervention, individualized supportive counseling and support groups. Our team of licensed social workers provides emotional support to patients, family members and/or caregivers.
We provide transportation to and from cancer-related medical appointments to help ensure access to care when no other assistance is available.
We help alleviate some of the financial burdens patients may face due to their cancer diagnosis and treatment. Our financial assistance includes cancer-related medical prescription medication, cancer-related dental care and other emergency needs including rent/mortgage, car payments, gasoline (gas cards), travel for out-of-town treatment (hotel, airfare), utilities, and homeowners and automobile insurance.
Our Spanish interpreter is available to assist patients during their cancer-related appointments to help ensure clear communication with their medical team.
A Certified To***co Treatment Specialist is available to meet one-on-one with patients and caregivers to talk about strategies and resources to help in quitting the use of to***co products.
In 2017, we launched our Wellness Center for Hope to promote wellness, healthy living and overall quality of life for cancer survivors and caregivers by offering access to knowledge and a variety of health-oriented activities that will aid in a healthier cancer journey. Our wellness team provides individualized plans to help with emotional and physical well-being.
Educational programs are a key component of our services to promote the overall health and quality of life of Northwest Arkansas residents. Our staff, including a Certified Health Education Specialist provides free cancer prevention education to schools, churches, business and civic organizations in our region.
Our programs are funded through grants as well as individual and corporate donations. Every dollar donated to Hope Cancer Resources stays in Northwest Arkansas and benefits our community and families living with cancer in our area.
