Caring Connections is a non-profit collaborative program between the Bangor Region YMCA and Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center. Designed to improve the physical and emotional health and wellness of individuals in Eastern Maine.

​

For over 20 years, Caring Connections has been providing women of all ages access, education and support. Caring Connections can link women who qualify for a free mammogram, free breast exam and free pap tests.  

​

Caring Connections provides cancer support services to men and women at any stage of diagnosis.  We provide services such as attending appointments, host a weekly breast cancer support group and a support group for men through our Men's Cancer Network, and the free LIVESTRONG at the YMCA exercise program for cancer survivors.
