Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program operates within the wellness and fitness services landscape, offering free emotional support and information to individuals affected by breast cancer across New York State. The organization relies on a volunteer base, many of whom are breast cancer survivors, complemented by social work staff to provide education, referrals, and psychosocial support to patients, professionals, and communities. It distinguishes itself as the first program in New York State dedicated to addressing the psychosocial aspects of breast cancer and runs a statewide toll-free hotline that handles thousands of calls and web visits annually, connecting callers with trained volunteers for guidance on topics ranging from early detection to treatment decisions and side effects. Based in Garden City, New York, the program has been operating since 1980 and continues to emphasize empowerment, advocacy, and access to resources for those concerned about breast cancer.
