Lymphoma Research Foundation Launches National Lymphoma Resource Center

Newly Reimagined Lymphoma Resource Center Replaces and Expands upon their Lymphoma Helpline, Informed by the Foundation’s 30 Years of Experience Supporting Survivors

The Lymphoma Research Foundation is proud to unveil its reimagined Lymphoma Resource Center, a full-service evolution of what began more than three decades ago as the Lymphoma Helpline. The Lymphoma Resource Center reflects an expanded and more ambitious scope than the original Lymphoma Helpline, which debuted in 1995 and has served thousands of people seeking financial assistance and information about coping with lymphoma, the most common blood cancer in adults.

“‘Helpline’ can suggest a single moment of crisis, but lymphoma is a journey — and it is rarely traveled alone,” said Meghan Gutierrez, Chief Executive Officer of the Lymphoma Research Foundation. “We’ve spent 30 years listening to patients, families, care partners, and physicians tell us what they need, and we’ve built something that can truly meet them wherever they are, from the first days of diagnosis through treatment and beyond. The Lymphoma Resource Center is the embodiment of that — a deeper commitment to everyone touched by this disease.”

The Lymphoma Resource Center is now a comprehensive care hub, offering treatment navigation, peer support  (through the Lymphoma Support Network), clinical trial support, and multilingual capabilities. It is available to anyone at any stage of their relationship with lymphoma, whether it’s a patient with a new diagnosis, a family member wanting to know how to be a more effective care partner, survivors coping with the effects of treatment, or a community doctor looking for treatment resources. In particular, for patients, the Lymphoma Resource Center can connect families with financial as well as treatment resources.

Helping those dealing with lymphoma is nothing new for the Lymphoma Research Foundation. It has served more than 3 million people since its inception. The Lymphoma Resource Center provides a convenient entry point for new and returning members of the lymphoma community in need of support.

Although lymphoma is the most common blood cancer in adults, it is a complex disease with more than 100 subtypes. Many lymphomas are rare and have their own courses of treatment, underscoring the importance of patient and care partner access to reliable, expert and detailed resources on the disease. This makes it crucial for both patients and physicians to be familiar with their lymphoma and to have the resources they need to navigate this disease.

The Lymphoma Resource Center will be able to serve people in any language they speak. Bilingual staff provide direct Spanish-language support. For all other languages, the center uses a professional interpretation service widely used in hospital and clinical settings.
