InspireLIFE BC is part of the solution for providing services to those people. Online programming for delivery of healthcare services is a new and growing field. The many benefits include convenient access to services that patients would otherwise have to travel to attend in person. Access to information and education regarding their disease and treatment helps patients cope with the day to day strain of dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Especially important in smaller communities, a greater degree of anonymity in interactive group sessions is greatly appreciated by patients.
