Our Mission

Here at the Edgar J. Paradis Cancer Fund, our mission is to provide supports and services to cancer patients who are residents of the St. John Valley.

Financial Assistance

Our goal is to provide financial assistance to family members and significant others so they can accompany a cancer patient from the St. John Valley to a treatment facility outside the valley.

Monthly Support Group

A monthly cancer support group is provided by Northern Maine Medical Center (NMMC) for cancer patients, survivors, and their families.  The goals are for attendees to understand cancer, manage their lives through treatment and recovery, and to find the emotional support they need. Please contact NMMC for dates and times 207-834-3155

Yearly Educational Program

The Edgar J. Paradis Cancer Fund provides a yearly educational program for cancer patients, family members, friends, and professionals. The Educational Committee determines the topic of the program based on the desires and needs of current cancer patients and new developments in the field. The educational events are usually held in the Fall.
