No One Should Have to
Face Cancer Alone
Let The Wellness Community Help You
with FREE CANCER SUPPORT
"When my wife first told me
about The Wellness
Community-Atlanta Northside, I could have never
imagined the impact its programs would have on
my life. In addition to the information that I have
gathered, I’ve also made some good friends who have offered my
entire family support”.
- Lee, cancer survivor
“I couldn’t even say
the word ‘cancer’ when my mom was first diagnosed....
I was so terrified of what was going to happen, scared
of the unknown. Once I found The Wellness Community-
Atlanta Northside, I met others who understood how I
felt. For the first time since her diagnosis, I was
able to openly discuss my fears with her and the rest
of my family.
- Arline, family member

At The Wellness Community-Atlanta Northside,
people with cancer learn that they are not alone. With the
diagnosis of cancer often come the feelings of fear,
depression, and isolation.
If negative emotions remain
constant and unremitting, they may adversely affect one’s
ability to fight, thus making recovery more difficult.
Each day, cancer patients their families and caregivers
can be with others who share the same concerns and
feelings, reducing their isolation and regaining control
of their lives.
