Cancer Wellness Services
Cancer affects every part of life, not just physical health.
Our programs provide support, guidance, and connection for adults navigating diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and the many changes cancer can bring.
Whether someone is newly diagnosed, in active treatment, adjusting after treatment, or looking for continued connection, these offerings are designed to help people feel supported, informed, and less alone.
Funded in part by SJJCC’s Stronger Than Cancer 5K Walk, Run, and Family Block Party; Harvey C. Marx; Elissa Savets; Manhasset Women’s Coalition Against Breast Cancer; Marilyn Lichtman Foundation; Northwell Health; Penny Zangas Memorial Foundation for Women’s Health; Sean Simon and the Simon family; Sunshine Foundation; and individual donations.

This program offers male cancer survivors a space to build strength, resilience, and genuine connection. Participants can also join the Richard Franco Male Cancer Survivors Discussion Group to share openly, exchange resources, and support one another through recovery and survivorship.
