We have common goals.
Ovar'coming Together supports survivors and co-survivors (caregivers, family and friends) from the point of diagnosis and through treatment with the goal of helping each person affected by the disease to have the best quality of life possible, and, for the patient, to have the greatest potential for recovery. The organization provides educational resources, outlets to support the emotional needs of survivors, and opportunities for survivors to connect with one another in uplifting and meaningful social settings.
Ovar'coming Together's mission also includes educating Indiana communities about the symptoms and risks of ovarian cancer, and networking with medical professionals across the state, to help increase early detection and thereby reduce the number of women who die from the disease.
The following resources and opportunities are offered to medical hospitals and offices:
HOPE (Helping Ovarian Patients Endure) Packets
HOPE Packets are thoughtfully-compiled free informational packets designed for the newly diagnosed
woman. Doctors and hospitals are invited to request a supply of the Packets to keep on hand to give to
ovarian cancer patients. Included in each packet is support group information, resources, books, pamphlets,
catalogs, an Indiana Gynecologic Oncologist listing, personal notes and more. Request HOPE packets.
The Interim Guidance for the Management of Average-Risk Women with Symptoms Suggestive
of Ovarian Cancer and Management Strategies Algorithm developed by leading U.S. ovarian cancer
researchers and physicians is available to medical offices to aid in the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer. The
algorithm is laminated and appropriate for hanging. Download copies or request free hard copies from
Ovar'coming Together. These documents serve as especially great tools for front-line physicians who
regularly deal with symptoms of bloating, abdominal pain, urinary symptoms and gastrointestinal issues.
Ovarian Cancer Brochures, Symptom Cards and Symptoms Posters are available for your office or
medical building to post or set out for patients to take home with them. Symptom cards are handy, business
card size which are easy for the taking. Request free materials.
