Our Monthly Community Conversations are for YOU!

Join us on Zoom each month for an authentic, comfortable, real, and safe virtual environment group chat led by cervical cancer survivor and caregiver Lauren Lastauskas. The conversations can range from lighthearted and fun to deep and slightly uncomfortable. Regardless of the topics, the conversations, as are you, are always welcome and needed!

We're not just here for you, we're here with you

You are not alone in your thoughts and feelings. As patients, survivors, and caregivers ourselves, what you’re facing and how you’re feeling are things that we have experience in. Join people who have discovered their perseverance and “gryt” by interacting with others and hearing stories that highlight real experiences.

The support you didn't know you needed

We offer support in whatever way you are seeking it. Our live programs allow for authentic conversations about the topics that don't get talked about openly, led by peers living the experience and professionals working to improve it. Our recorded programs are 250+ and growing, with topics going in-depth that impact your health and wellbeing.

As survivors and caregivers ourselves, we know the importance of:

Our commitment to you

Permission: We never share your data or do anything without your permission first
Transparency: We share with you why we're doing the work we are and how it will be utilized
Partnership: We follow-up with everyone after they participate so they know how they're voice is improving health and healthcare

Your experience can change healthcare

With your help, we can change the healthcare system by helping people learn about new treatment options, helping the medical community learn about the lived experiences of people facing a diagnosis through patient experience research, and co-create educational programs to learn from real people who are working to make a difference. We welcome and encourage you to learn more about how we work with the healthcare industry here.

Testimonials

"As a single mother with two young kids, I felt isolated and overwhelmed about my diagnosis and the unknowns of the pandemic. I joined Gryt Health's online support group and I instantly felt connected to other survivors and validated by sharing my experience. The group even allowed my kids to make appearances."

Breast Cancer Survivor

"Most of my connection with Gryt has been through participation in its monthly Zoom meetups for the past few years. I have found these support group meetings to be helpful to me in many respects. In addition, I’ve participated in patient advocate panels for Gryt, which I hope will be helpful for many years going forward."

Lung Cancer Survivor

"The most important part of my experience with Gryt Health's community is that I found my voice as a patient advocate. The community taught me that my story is unique and sharing my lived experience is healing and leads to positive change for others."
