Facing Cancer Together

Support groups provide hope.
The Wellness Community
provides support, education and hope

The Wellness Community provides comprehensive support for people with cancer and their loved ones.

We are here for people newly diagnosed, during and after treatment, through long-term survivorship or advanced disease. All of our programs are provided free of charge.

You and your family members can choose to take part in a variety of programs designed to help you learn more about cancer, and to manage your treatment and recovery as effectively as possible. You can learn from others with similar experiences. You can also use mind/body programs to assist in coping with cancer, strengthening your immune system, and moving toward recovery.  We can face cancer together.
