Wellness Programs

Living with cancer can create so many stresses, which can in turn compromise immune functioning.

In order to address both the physical and emotional components of distress, the Cancer Wellness Center offers evidence-based classes that have been found to produce a physiological relaxation response.

The Center currently offers a variety of FREE wellness classes both virtually on Zoom and in-person at our Northbrook Location.
