OUR WHY
The good news is due to medical advances people are living longer with cancer . The bad news is there is limited awareness of service options available to meet emotional, physical, mental and financial needs of the individual.
Long term side effects such as physical pain and dysfunction from chemo, radiation and surgery decrease
quality of life.
Prevent-Heal-Thrive
fills that gap.
OUR MISSION
To provide resources for affordable, evidence-based complementary cancer prevention, care and aftercare in conjunction with conventional medical treatment in Southeastern Connecticut.
We assist participants in finding vetted (licensed when required) practitioners. We also advocate for adjunct services within the hospital system. Financial supplementation is offered for that which insurance
doesn't cover.
OUR PLAN
PREVENT- Conduct fundraisers and educational events for the general public that highlight whole body wellness, promote cancer screenings and encourage healthy lifestyle changes.
HEAL- Assist participant in finding non pharmaceutical and evidence-based comfort during and after cancer treatment. Participant must get doctor approval if in current treatment.
THRIVE- Provide GIFTS OF COMFORT and be a resource for integrative support.
MICHELE'S MESSAGE
- Stop cancer before it starts.
- Prevention is the best cure.
- Fill your days with family, friends, fun, fitness and faith.
Know that you are not a victim of your genes. Only 5–10% of all cancer cases can be attributed to genetics, the remaining 90–95% have their roots in the environment and lifestyle or a combination of these factors.
