Offering services free of charge to anyone impacted by cancer has been the hallmark of The Cancer Wellness Center since day one. At its founding in 1989, the Center was a grassroots-effort focused on peer support, employing contract licensed mental health professionals to provide support groups to cancer patients and their caregivers at a modest location in Skokie, IL. Over the years, support services have expanded to include professional counseling and a wide breadth of mental health, wellness and educational programs.
The Center has prided itself on being a reliable source of support and information for the cancer community. Healthcare partners have come to rely on the Center’s services which are not available elsewhere in the community. The Center serves both adults and children diagnosed with cancer, family members/caregivers, and those who have experienced the loss of a loved one to cancer.
