Complementary Cancer Care, Inc
We provide non-medical complementary services accessible to all cancer patients, caregivers, and survivors. These services are designed to complement standard medical treatment and are free of cost.
Complementary Cancer Care began with one idea in mind:
GIVE ANYONE DEALING WITH CANCER THE TOOLS TO HEAL MIND, BODY, HEART, AND SOUL
In this context, HEAL does not necessarily mean CURE, but instead refers to a state where someone experiences less suffering and feels more whole, no matter their diagnosis or prognosis or their stage of treatment or recovery.
Our programs complement medical treatment and fill the gaps between patient and person, encouraging self-expression, relief from stress and anxiety, a sense of community with people who are likely to provide you with a profound understanding of what you are going through, because they have similar feelings, worries, everyday problems, treatment decisions, or treatment side effects.
Our Statement of Mission and Values
Our mission is to promote an overall sense of wellbeing in individuals impacted by cancer by providing accessible complementary therapies.
