<br />Cancer Information Service Projects
<br />Supported By American Cancer Society
<br />
<br />Effective immediately, the
<br />Minnesota Cancer Information
<br />Service, a toll free telephone
<br />"hotline" for people with
<br />questions and concerns about
<br />cancer, is now a program total-
<br />ly sponsored and funded by
<br />the American Cancer Society,
<br />Minnesota Division. The popu-
<br />lar "Cancer Answers" news-
<br />paper column and radio pro-
<br />gram are also now educational
<br />services completely sponsor-
<br />ed and funded by the Society.
<br />The Cancer Information Ser-
<br />vice (CIS), newspaper column
<br />
<br />and radio program have pre- '
<br />viously been a cooperative
<br />project of the Society and.the
<br />Mayo Comprehensive Cancer
<br />Center under a National Can-
<br />cer Institute contract. Effec-
<br />tive June 15, the contract end-
<br />ed as the Mayo bid was not
<br />renewed by the National Can-
<br />cer Institute. The American
<br />Cancer Society, Minnesota Di-
<br />vision executive committee
<br />voted unanimously to assume
<br />responsibility for the entire
<br />support of the projects.
<br />"These are very important
<br />
<br />Volunteers Needed To Drive
<br />Cancer Patients To Treatment
<br />
<br />If you can spare a few hours
<br />each month and you drive a
<br />car, you can volunteer for a
<br />particularly satisfying and ful-
<br />filling effort: driving cancer pa-
<br />tients to and from treatment
<br />centers.
<br />Tran sportation assi stance
<br />for cancer patients is an in-
<br />creasin'gly needed service pro-
<br />vided by the American Cancer
<br />Society, Minnesota Division.
<br />Because cancer patients are
<br />living longer and many more
<br />are being cured, and because
<br />patients are more commonly
<br />being treated on an out-patient
<br />basis, the requests for trans'
<br />portation assistance are be-
<br />coming more numerous.
<br />"This is a real opportunity to
<br />
<br />know that you are preforming
<br />a truly valuable volunteer func-
<br />tion," said Rev. Fred Stroebel,
<br />Service. Chairperson, Anoka
<br />County Unit, American Cancer
<br />Society. "Volunteers who have
<br />performed this service, driving
<br />cancer patients to and from
<br />treatment centers, tell me it is
<br />one of the most rewarding
<br />things they have ever done.
<br />They are filling a real need and
<br />they know it is appreciated."
<br />Anyone interested in be-
<br />coming a volunteer driver for
<br />the American Cancer Society
<br />is invited to contact Rev. Fred
<br />Stroebel at 421-3375. Training
<br />will be provided to all new
<br />volunteers.

<br />President, Anoka County Unit,
<br />American Cancer Society.
<br />"We are proud that our Divi-
<br />sion Board is committed to
<br />continuing these programs. It
<br />is hoped that financial support
<br />can be obtained from corpora-
<br />tions, foundations or other
<br />sources, but the expenditure
<br />is already included in the Divi-
<br />
<br />sion's next fiscal year
<br />budget."
<br />During the past year, 8,538
<br />calls were received on the CIS
<br />number, 1-800-4-CANCER,
<br />answered by trained volun-
<br />teers and staff. The "Cancer
<br />Answers" column is carried by
<br />approximately 100 Minnesota
<br />newspapers and the radio pro-
<br />gram by more than 100 Minne-
