About this Opportunity

With locations in Ellsworth and Baileyville, the Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center is one of only three freestanding cancer resource centers in Maine. It serves Hancock and Washington Counties, where the incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates for cancer far exceed both the state and national averages. The Beth C. Wright Center is a trusted resource for education and support, providing essential guidance in understanding a cancer diagnosis and navigating the path forward. The Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center provides a comfortable place for cancer patients, families, and loved ones to meet their educational and emotional needs. Our staff is almost entirely volunteer; professionals and caring community members donate their time to offer classes, meetings, and programs that are free to people with cancer, their families, and loved ones. We offer books, brochures, video and audio tapes as well as a computer with access to the internet.
