Support Groups

Support groups are an excellent source of information and encouragement for people facing life-changing situations. HRMC hosts a wide range of free support groups to meet the needs of our community. For information about particular meeting times and locations, please call the number listed with that support group.

If you would like to start a support group for people facing health-related challenges, HRMC offers meeting rooms in the HRMC Legacy Plaza free of charge. We will also help to promote the support group by listing it in publications and on our website. Call 605-353-6573 or email info@huronregional.org for more information.
