"NEW PATIENT KIT"  For Newly Diagnosed Cancer Patients

Every newly diagnosed cancer patient who visits Victory in the Valley at our Victory House location (3755 E. Douglas, Wichita, KS) will receive one of our "New Patient Kits" which is filled with educational and resource information.  In addition, through the generosity of many pharmaceutical companies, individuals and organizations, the kit often includes a warm blanket or quilt, neck pillow, etc.  In the front pouch you will find Victory in the Valley's "Navigating The Cancer Journey" booklet which was designed by a committee made up of cancer survivors, caregivers, oncology doctors and nurses, and other healthcare professionals.  The booklet includes common oncology terms along with suggestions for both cancer patients and caregivers from those who have also walked the journey.  

Newly Diagnosed Cancer patients will also receive a "Victory Bear" which they will be offered at Victory House, our Hospitality Centre or by our 7th Friend Volunteers who visit at the cancer treatment centers.  Each warm, cuddly bear is provided as a source of encouragement and comfort and as a reminder that "Victory in the Valley Cares About You Beary Much!"

A "Cancer Buddy" who is also a Cancer Survivor, is available to offer 1 to 1 support and encouragement by phone or in person to you.
