The first thing many patients seek when they are diagnosed
with cancer is information about the disease and its treatment. Wings provides access to the latest medical
information through our Lending Libraries and educational workshops planned at
various times throughout the year. We
encourage the use of complementary therapies like journaling, meditation and guided
imagery to help quiet the mind in order to promote relaxation which allows your
immune system to function at a higher level.
Patients and their families will also find information about
cancer and coping with the impact of cancer on their lives by attending one of
our support groups, meeting with our trained counselors, visiting with our
volunteers or perhaps reading some of the stories of other survivors located on
our web site.
The Wings
staff can facilitate finding a “cancer partner” for patients and families through our
partnering program.
