FACING CANCER together
FREE cancer support, education and hope
Our services are free of charge, but to those affected by
cancer, they are priceless. Please consider a donation
during our Annual Giving Appeal.
   
OUR MISSION

We are dedicated to helping those affected by cancer enhance their health
and well-being through participation in professional programs of emotional
support, education, and hope.

Our programs and services are always free of charge, to ensure that we do
not increase the financial burden of those already coping with life-threatening
issues.  We serve all cancer patients - any diagnosis, any stage - and their
families and caregivers.  Our comfortable setting helps people find a sense
of community among others with whom they can share, learn and improve
their quality of life.

Breakaway from Cancer is a complementary component to
the Amgen Tour of California to raise awareness and
funds to support valuable services and programs,
provided to people living with cancer.  The initiative
supports The Wellness Community, the National Coalition
for Cancer Survivorship, the Patient Advocate Foundation,
and Prevent Cancer Foundation.

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.
