The mission of the non-profit organization is to help cancer patients recover to the greatest extent possible without letting money or insurance forms get in the way.
Cancer patients learn to fight for their recovery on the psychological and social fronts with their doctors and health-care team.
After the Wellness Community site is opened, cancer patients may come to free support groups, lectures and presentations on stress management, nutrition, pain control, relaxation techniques and biofeedback aswell as other techniques they can use to fight cancer.
