Cincinnati, OH – March 22, 2024 – In the face of a cancer diagnosis, the physical battle often takes center stage. Yet, the emotional toll can be just as significant. Recognizing this critical gap in care, OncoSupport, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is revolutionizing mental health support for cancer patients in Cincinnati through an innovative, technology-driven approach.
Founded by Siddhant Nagar, who witnessed the emotional struggles of his own family member battling cancer, OncoSupport draws inspiration from the profound power of community and shared experiences. Motivated by the alarming statistic that over 30% of cancer patients struggle with depression, a rate exceeding five times that of the general population according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), OncoSupport offers a unique solution.
Their innovative approach utilizes a cutting-edge machine-learning algorithm to match patients with personalized support groups. This meticulous pairing ensures individuals connect with others facing similar challenges, fostering empathy, understanding, and invaluable peer-to-peer support. OncoSupport’s impact is already making waves in Cincinnati. The organization has positively impacted the lives of over 100 cancer patients, offering them a safe space to share, connect, and heal.
Participants report significant improvements in emotional well-being, reduced stress, and a newfound sense of belonging. “Through personalized support groups,” shares Siddhant Nagar, founder of OncoSupport, “we empower cancer patients to navigate this challenging journey with a network of understanding individuals. Our vision is to expand our reach beyond Cincinnati, providing this vital support to patients across the region and potentially nationwide.” OncoSupport invites the community to join the fight against cancer, not just physically, but emotionally as well. Whether through donations, volunteering your time, or simply spreading awareness, every contribution can make a difference.
