About Us
 The
Wellness Community is a safe haven for cancer patients
and their families and a place where they can find
support, companionship, education, and most of all…hope.
Cancer patients who come to The Wellness Community are
referred to as Participants and are encouraged to fight
for their recovery by participating in their treatments.
Participants
and their supporters have opportunities to:
-
join a community of others
who are facing the same struggles and challenges;
-
improve the quality of
their lives; and
-
learn strategies to
enhance their recovery
process.
