On Friday, October 17th, 100% of all food and drink sales at The Human Bean will be donated to French Hospital’s Hearst Cancer Resource Center (HCRC) to support no-cost cancer programs and services including mammograms, post-diagnosis care, and education. The Human Bean’s giveback event honors Breast Cancer Awareness Month at their three convenient, drive-through locations: Atascadero, Templeton, and Morro Bay.
The Hearst Cancer Resource Center (HCRC) at French Hospital is a one-of-a-kind resource in San Luis Obispo County for those living with cancer and their families. Since opening in 2008, the HCRC has provided over 160,000 patient and community connections to cancer support services, education, and outreach. All programs and services are provided at no cost to patients, made possible thanks to generous donor support.
The HCRC offers more than 30 life-changing services to patients at no charge, including a Patient Navigation Program, connecting patients with an oncology nurse for vital guidance and support throughout their cancer journey; diagnosis-specific support groups; mental health services with a licensed clinical social worker; transportation assistance; bilingual services provided in Spanish, including translation at medical appointments; an Appearance Center offering free wigs; wellness classes such as yoga and guided meditation; support for patients in financial need; and much more.
The goal of the HCRC is to empower cancer patients with knowledge about their disease, identify paths to better health, build a personal support system, and gain a sense of extended family. The HCRC is dedicated to serving cancer patients and their families, ranging from those newly diagnosed with cancer, in treatment, in recovery, and beyond.
