My Story

Caring for my dad when he was ill showed me just how important integrative therapies are. It lead me on a journey to provide these integrative services to others after his passing. CWC has taken the burden of cost and search off the plates of patients and families which allows access to these services. It’s an honor to be running for Cape Wellness Collaborative for a 4th year and a privilege to work one on one with the clients of CWC. 

Description

Cape Wellness Collaborative's (CWC) mission is to help residents of Cape Cod and the Islands who are facing cancer feel better through integrative therapies, nourishing meals, and emotional support services. 

Integrative therapies like massage, acupuncture, yoga, and more can significantly ease the physical and emotional side effects of cancer treatment and recovery. Yet most of these therapies are not covered by insurance, making them inaccessible to many when they’re needed most.

CWC bridges that gap. We connect individuals facing cancer with trusted, local practitioners who provide integrative care—and we cover the cost. Our model keeps care close to home, compassionate, and accessible.

Today, we serve approximately 1,100 people each year. Through our Wellness Eats program, we’ve also provided more than 18,000 handcrafted, nourishing meals to clients and caregivers across our community.  We also host monthly support group meetings at our HQ in South Yarmouth.

Our goal is simple and deeply meaningful: to help people feel better—physically, emotionally, and holistically—while navigating cancer.
