WELCOME

The Wellness Community-Massachusetts South Shore is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support, free of charge, to people affected by cancer, their families, and their caregivers.

THE MISSION

The Wellness Community is to help people affected by cancer enhance health and well-being through a professional program of emotional support, education, and hope. All programs and services are provided free of charge.

Our programs for people with all types of cancer and their loved ones provide the support and resources needed to maintain a high quality of life and to cope with this life-threatening condition. We offer weekly on-going support groups, family and friends groups, networking groups for people with specific types of cancer, educational programs, exercise activities, stress management sessions, nutrition classes, creative art workshops, and social gatherings.

“Community” is perhaps the most important aspect of The Wellness Community model of care that differentiates the program from any other. Today, thousands of people with cancer and their loved ones unite together through our programs. People come at the time of diagnosis, during or at the end of treatment, at recurrence or several years out of treatment. They all come to learn they are not alone in their struggle--whether for physical, emotional, or spiritual recovery. Together, they regain a sense of control over their lives and ultimately discover that hope is a valuable tool irrespective of the stage of their disease.
