Community Advisory Board
The Morton Hospital Cancer Care Community Advisory Board (CABbies)
Who We are
The CABbies are an all-volunteer committee comprised of nurses, survivors and concerned men and women with a commitment to help patients of the greater Taunton area from their cancer diagnosis through recovery and beyond.
What We Do
The committee hosts several annual fundraisers including the much-anticipated "Paint the Night Pink" event in October, advocates cancer care prevention through free screenings, and provides a range of services and support to local cancer patients and survivors, including:
- Short term financial assistance for items such as rent and utilities
- Providing transportation to and from medical appointments
- Tai Chi classes for exercise and stress relief
- Providing a support system for patients, survivors and their family and friends
How to Get Involved
The CABbies meet on the second Tuesday of the month from 6 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. in Morton Hospital's Cafeteria Annex conference room.
