The Wellness Community - Foothills has been providing cancer support services to people affected by cancer since 1990 from its main office in Pasadena. Services include support groups for cancer patients, caregivers, and those who have lost a loved one to cancer. Educational programs are scheduled several times each month. Relaxation classes including yoga, visualization, Tai Chi, etc. are offered on an ongoing basis for those in cancer treatment or those who have recently completed treatment. All services are provided at no charge to participants.
Funding is received from friends in the community and from corporate and foundation grants. No government contracts subsidize The Wellness Community.
Community outreach is a priority and programs are located in underserved communities in four languages: English, Spanish, Korean and Spanish.
