The impact of a cancer diagnosis extends far beyond medical treatment. As many as three out of every four cancer survivors experience symptoms of psychological distress as well as financial issues. These types of issues impact health outcomes and quality of life.   

While local medical centers are expanding their cancer centers to meet the growing number of patients and family members, we are building environments to support them outside of the hospital setting. 

In 2018, we were gifted a 6-acre parcel of land in a beautiful, natural setting next to the Lafayette Reservoir. The new campus will take advantage of the natural surroundings that research has shown are conducive for healing and will support cancer patients and their families throughout the Bay Area. 

Our new cancer support center has only been a vision - until now.

Construction is underway on our new campus that will include children and teen enrichment areas, support rooms with flexible space and remote broadcast capabilities, a demonstration kitchen, counseling rooms, expressive arts room, movement studio, library and cafe, wellness treatment rooms, and a naturally healing garden and outdoor areas.

The combination of the natural setting and state-of-the-art facility will enable exploration of innovative ways to deliver in-person and virtual programming and serve as a model for cancer support programs nationally.
