Ribbon of Hope - "The Gift of Time"
Ribbon Of Hope
What began as one person’s vision to provide emotional and spiritual support to cancer patients has grown to an organization that now serves patients, their family, and caregivers throughout Michiana.
Today a large number of committed individuals donate their time to provide spiritual and emotional support for our patients. A journey that began as a serious medical challenge for one has now successfully assisted more than 2000 patients fighting cancer.
Ribbon of Hope offers a variety of practical services to assist patients and family members. With the primary focus of caring for the spiritual and emotional needs of the patient.
