Our Philosophy

Most clients come to The Healing Garden traumatized by the news of their initial cancer diagnosis. Yet, many others walk through our doors at very different places along their personal journeys.

All are welcome, at any time and at any point.

We are here to educate, to empower, and to give you the tools you need to take back your life. Our community extends to your family, caretakers, and friends. We are here to:

  • remind you that you are a person, not a disease
  • help you prepare for surgery (if necessary)
  • support you during all your treatment protocol(s)
  • provide post-treatment support for as long as it's needed
  • balance metastatic challenges, for as long as needed
  • help you, your family, and friends in many other ways

We welcome you and yours with open arms, and with our message, “You are a person, not a disease. You can live well with breast cancer, and beyond. We are here to help you.”

We believe that breast cancer results from many complex processes in the body, and that there is no single cause. No one diagnosed with cancer should be blamed or made to feel responsible for causing this disease.

Mission Statement

The Healing Garden is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing therapeutic services, educational programs, and a healing environment to people affected by breast cancer.

 

Our community extends beyond our clients to include families, friends, and caretakers.
