Circle of Hope: Supporting Cancer Patients in Fairbanks

The Circle of Hope program was established to provide vital support to cancer patients in Fairbanks, assisting them throughout their treatment journey—from diagnosis to survivorship. A key milestone in our mission was the successful fundraising for a state-of-the-art Tomosynthesis Mammography machine at Fairbanks Imaging & Breast Center. With that goal achieved, Circle of Hope has expanded its mission to support patients battling all types of cancer, helping them navigate the challenges of their treatment.

How Circle of Hope Makes a Difference

Donations to Circle of Hope offer invaluable support to cancer patients and their families in numerous ways:

Circle of Hope facilitates support groups that empower patients to share their experiences and find strength in community.

Employee Education

We offer specialized training opportunities to ensure our staff stays informed about the latest treatment protocols, enhancing the care provided to patients.

Hope Totes:
A Special Gift of Care

One of the most meaningful initiatives within Circle of Hope is the Hope Tote program, inspired by Marsha French through the Hospital Foundation. When Marsha’s son underwent cancer treatment, she recognized the need for convenience and comfort, which led to the creation of Hope Totes.

Each Hope Tote is provided to patients receiving treatment at the J. Michael Carroll Cancer Center. These totes are filled with comforting items, educational resources, and essential supplies to support patients during their treatment journey. By donating specifically to the Hope Tote fund, you can give a patient this thoughtful and supportive gift during a challenging time.

Your Support Matters

By donating to Circle of Hope, you provide cancer patients with essential practical and emotional support throughout their treatment. Whether it’s a ride to their next appointment or a tote filled with comfort items, your generosity makes a real difference in their lives.
