HEALTH / The branch opened two weeks ago in Briançon: it welcomes patients during on-call hours on the first and third Thursday of each month
– Hautes-Alpes –
A new reception point for the Hautes-Alpes Cancer League. It opened in Briançon at the beginning of November thanks to the action of the CCAS of the town of Briançon in particular. On the first and third Thursday of each month, around ten volunteers are active, welcoming the sick and providing support to them and their loved ones. Opening a reception point in Briançon was a necessity, explains Annabelle Albert, volunteer coordinator of the Northern Cancer League of Hautes-Alpes.
“Our territorial particularity made it difficult for people from the north of the department to come to Gap to participate in the activities offered” A. Albert
This opening allows, among other things, the League to offer support care adapted to people from the north of the department without them having to need to move “. Discussion groups are organized in the Domitis premises in Briançon, adapted physical activity is planned in Argentière-la-Bessée and Villar-Saint-Pancrace.
