off-site programs

The Cancer Support Community Central Ohio provides programs that complement traditional medical care. Psychosocial support is considered "the other half of cancer care". Research shows that participation in the type of programs offered at the Cancer Support Community Central Ohio decreases stress, improves quality of life and may increase the potential of long-term survival. All cancer wellness programs and services are provided at no cost to the participant.

With the support of the Franklin County Board of Commissioners the Cancer Support Community Central Ohio has been able to expand cancer wellness programs to Franklin County residents and in addition, launch new programs and services at the West Side Family Health and Wellness Center in Central Hilltop, 2300 West Broad Street.
