Now we are basically having to learn "to walk" on our own.Having this program was excellent to know who in the community can help us - be it a physical therapist, counselor, or dietitian. — BCRC client

I am so very grateful for the help BCRC is willing to provide. It's been a bit of a rough road since losing my job and subsequently my insurance. It's reassuring to know there are resources available to help ensure I get the screening recommended by my doctor. — BCRC client
