No One Should Face Cancer Alone.

Triunfadoras is a cancer survivor support group for Latina women, their families, and caregivers. The program started in 2002 with eight patients and today we have 540 members. 

Triunfadoras is the only culturally-sensitive, Spanish-language, on-going cancer support group in Utah.
