Inspire! Support Group

Inspire! is a support group for patients and others who have been confronted or touched by an illness or a diagnosis or who have been hospitalized for care. Group leaders encourage participants to set aside their diagnosis, creatively express themselves and share their journey with others. Participants learn about creative self-expression while exploring various art forms, including crafts, film, literature, music, painting, poetry, scriptural passages and more. Tanner Chaplain Joannah Cook MDiv, BCC, facilitates the group's meetings.

If you are interested in joining Inspire! or have questions, contact Cook at 770-836-9461 or by e-mail.

I Survived Cancer — What Now? Support Group

“I Survived Cancer — What Now?” is a monthly support group facilitated by Tanner Chaplain Joannah Cook. The group meets on the last Thursday of each month from noon to 1 p.m. at Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton in Classroom 5 of the Health Education and Wellness Learning Center. For many cancer survivors, acclimating to their "new normal" can often be challenging and even disorienting. Join other cancer survivors to learn the next steps in your journey.

To join the group, contact Tanner Cancer Care patient navigators at 770-812-5446.
