Why we run
Description
CWC provides free of charge integrative therapies, nutritious meals, and emotional support for people facing cancer on Cape Cod and their caregivers.
Integrative care includes massage, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, lymphatic drainage, yoga, art therapy and more. All of these modalities provide significant relief from the side effects of cancer and its treatment. Integrative care is not typically covered by insurance, which means many people cannot afford it while undergoing cancer treatment and facing a loss of work.
CWC partners directly with local practitioners who provide these services and we cover the cost.
Our model makes integrative care accessible: the practitioners are in your neighborhood, and the cost is covered. We serve over 600 people living with cancer each year. Our goal is to help people feel better, better tolerate treatment, and recover faster after treatment.
