Mission:
The mission of Healing Tribal Strong is to provide a forum for all tribal families and friends to share experiences, offer support, and foster a sense of unity in the face of the challenges that cancer brings. The Healing Tribal Strong support group meets weekly to share experiences, relax, and provide a community for those tribal citizens and their families who are impacted by cancer.
