programs & services
 

 

 

Programs are offered free of charge in our home-like setting. We have been able to offer free programs of cancer support, education and hope through the generous support of individuals, corporation grants & foundations and through year-round special fundraising events. We don't receive any financial support through government funding, insurance nor the American Cancer Society.

Programs are available to participants with cancer, family and friends. Programs at The Wellness Community include:
