Cancer Caring Center

On #NationalDoctorsDay we thank our founding and current board member, Dr. Stanley Marks, for his three decades of dedication to the wellbeing of Pittsburgh’s cancer patients.

We cannot find enough words to THANK Eisai for sponsoring our first "Happy Feet Winter Wellness Community", a seven week program to encourage movement and offer tools for proactive mental wellbeing. We are also grateful to our many wonderful speakers and those that contributed to this program: Judy Schaad, Wendy A. Myers, MSW, LCSW, Angela Zaccagnini, William C. Davies, Ed.D., Matthew Iwaniec, Nicole Kulasa, Nicole M. Reilley- Dosey, Kurt Bjorklund, Hanna Beightley, MPH CHES,... Leslie Waltke, PT, DPTDana LaSota, Catherine Jensen. It was a great success with many participants sharing how they become more active, lost weight, slept better, and had a better mental outlook through this covid winter. The many participants proved that we can make life better during and after cancer with the correct support! We will run this program AGAIN!
