CMH Cancer Resource CenterAssistance, Education
and Support

The CMHS Cancer Resource Center, in conjunction with Community Memorial Hospital, The Wellness Community Valley/ Ventura, and the American Cancer Society, offers a variety of services designed to meet the needs of individuals faced with a diagnosis of cancer as well as providing programs for family members, friends and the community-at-large. These services are offered free of charge in a comfortable non-hospital setting.

How We Help
A cancer diagnosis can oftentimes be devastating for the individual and their loved ones. Fear, anxiety–even understanding cancer terminology and procedures–can be overwhelming.

Community Memorial Hospital has long been committed to assisting cancer patients from diagnosis through recovery. Helping enhance the level of services provided, CMHS is extremely proud to reach a long time goal and announce their Cancer Program accreditation with commendation from the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. The CMHS Cancer Program was also awarded the CoC Outstanding Achievement Award for a new Cancer Program. The CMHS Cancer Resource Center is part of the CMHS Cancer Program.

With the Cancer Resource Center, the community now has a place to go locally to get the information they need. The Cancer Resource Center is currently located at 120 N. Ashwood Avenue in Ventura. Decorated in warm earth-tone colors, the center features comfortable furniture, fully functioning kitchen, a resource library and a computer station.

Moreover, the center is staffed by a dedicated group of caring and trained individuals who can assist patients and offer resources and guidance on a variety of services and information specific to their needs while being surrounded in a comfortable environment.
