Support Groups

At Eden Medical Center, we understand that meeting the health care needs of our community often requires more than just the diagnosis and treatment of illness and injury. We know that support and education play equally important roles in the ability of our patients and their families to understand and cope with the challenges they face. To that end, the following are a few of the many support groups that are offered in the community and our facilities.
