ABOUT OUR GROUP
NCAN Chapter Support Group meetings are built on the concept of patients helping patients.
Our meetings are all about getting to know people who understand exactly what you’re going through, and about getting you the most up-to-date information on NET testing, treatment options, and lifestyle tips.
We are a growing group of Net patients and caregivers from all over Palm Beach County. We love to learn through each other and our guest speakers. Knowledge is power!
We hope you decide to JOIN US at an upcoming meeting…we look so forward to meeting you!
