Momcology® is a national community-based patient advocacy and support organization founded in 2011 by mothers of children with cancer.
We directly serve the needs of families and caregivers by providing facilitated peer support programs, information distribution, educational opportunities, partnerships with treatment centers, and engagement in projects and programs that address the ongoing needs of families affected by pediatric cancer from diagnosis, through treatment and into survivorship or bereavement care.
Primary caregiver emotional health has a direct impact on the wellbeing of the child. Many parents internalize the stress of balancing life and family after diagnosis, leaving the entire household feeling isolated, exhausted, and broken. Momcology has found a way to minimize these feelings by providing positive and restorative environments of peer social support for parents.
Momcology holds both in-person and virtual events throughout the year. Our programs help us to build, sustain and nurture a support environment for families to benefit from being part of a cancer community. Momcology programs and events are for primary caregivers of children diagnosed with cancer on-treatment, off-treatment and bereaved parents.
Being part of a connected community of over 10,000 families is a powerful tool in accelerating treatment and care for children diagnosed with cancer. From institutional studies, patient advisory councils, and global data initiatives, Momcology has been the leader in effectively facilitating community-based research and patient advocacy partnerships between the medical and patient family community. When you become part of Momcology’s network, you will find many opportunities to be a lived-experience advocate for all families facing childhood cancer both now and in the future. Your experiences matter and we are here to help make sure they are counted with value and meaning.
