Please Keep In Mind:
Medical treatment for your cancer is first and foremost. The Wellness Community’s emotional support and educational programs can be an integral part of your cancer care.
Just as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other treatments address the physical aspects of cancer, participating at The Wellness Community can help you and your
loved ones address the psychological and emotional concerns of not only surviving cancer, but living well after cancer.
