The main focus of Gort Cancer Support is to assist and support anyone going through a cancer experience and well as their loved ones, from the time of diagnosis, through treatment and at any time thereafter.
Please Note: we have recently moved to ‘The Hawthorn’ Ennis Rd, Gort, Co Galway (Address on side bar to be altered. All other details remain the same).
