Sometimes hearing other people's stories, knowing you are not alone, or having someone to share your hopes and fears with can be almost as important as all the medicines and therapies. Advocate recognizes the need for patient and family support and offers support groups at most of our hospitals. Just call your local Advocate Hospital and they will direct you to the nearest Advocate support group. Or log on to any of the following Internet sites for additional support groups.
