Mission: Our Mission: To ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community. The mission of Cancer Support Community Pasadena is to help people affected by cancer enhance their health and well-being through participation in a professional program of emotional support, education and hope. Cancer Support Community provides professionally led programs of support to people with cancer and their loved ones no matter what kind of cancer or where they are on their cancer journey. At Cancer Support Community, you can choose to participate in a variety of programs designed to help you learn more about cancer and its treatment. You can also connect with and learn from others as you face cancer together. The first step, attending a Welcome to Wellness orientation, is led by a cancer survivor. This meeting is open to people with cancer, family members and friends and will provide you with an overview of Cancer Support Community programs of educational programs, support groups, exercise, stress reduction and nutrition classes, resource library and social activities. Cancer Support Community believes that participation in our programs can be a meaningful part of your physical, and emotional recovery from cancer, regardless of the stage or extent of your illness, or whether you are a survivor or a caregiver.

The Wellness Community (TWC) is an awesome and amazing resource for anyone fighting cancer.

They provide information and education in many forms -- and at no charge to cancer patients. Their staff is gentle and kind and the classes they offer are wonderful. The knowledge you can gain will be your best resource in waging your personal battle against cancer. They offer counseling, a lending library, group meetings with people who share their personal experiences with you, yoga classes, strength training classes, meditation and so much more. They are a worthy organization and they are there to help.
