Our Impact

“PEN has been my go-to site for CLL Information for several years. The webinars are exceptional and very informative on updated information and care. This site brings me comfort and peace of mind in keeping up with new treatment information and education. I’m very grateful because Dr. appointments don’t allow the time to learn and ask questions, so PEN had been there for me always.” – Judith L.

“PEN has provided me, and the cancer community, with much pertinent and timely information about a lot of different cancers.” – Robert E.

“I came upon Patient Empowerment Network. It gave me reasoned and researched information along with some very positive stories from others who were going through similar journeys to mine. It was the first element of hope that I found in the early stages of my diagnosis and helped me immensely during the first few years.” – Elizabeth J.

“I was both a client served and an event participant. When I was first diagnosed with AML, PEN was an enlightening and inspirational resource. I not only gained valuable information about my illness and treatments but also was inspired by others who shared my illness and were living full lives despite it. ” – Patricia F.

Patient Empowerment Network

To achieve the best possible outcome from a cancer diagnosis, you have to be empowered to ask the right questions, at the right time. But where to start?

Start here, with the Patient Empowerment Network (PEN); we’ll be here to support you through every step of your cancer journey.

Whether you are a cancer patient or caregiver, knowledge is your superpower. Through our free resources, we’ll educate, then ACTIVATE you to ensure you’re empowered to make treatment decisions for the most current and personalized care available.

By following our Path to Empowerment Framework, you’ll learn to be a self-advocate, and to advocate for others starting from the day of diagnosis through post-treatment. Based on the National Cancer Institute’s Cancer Experience Map, the information you’ll find within the framework’s six categories will provide you with easy-to-understand and reliable information.

PEN’s free online resources for cancer patients and care partners are here to help whenever you need them: 365 days a year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Covering diagnosis and testing, treatment, clinical trials, financing cancer treatment, recovery, and everything in between, we’ll connect you to the programs, experts, peers, and other resources that are improving cancer outcomes.

Become empowered. Let PEN help.
