Heartwood Free Cancer Program

When the Covid19 situation in March of 2020 dramatically impacted access to alternative health care, the Cancer Program also slowed and was in hiatus for a period of time.  Many practitioners, however, have been able to continue their practices and may be available to provide in person or virtual services.  If you are interested in finding out more about the program, and what may be available to you either as a healthcare provider, family member or as a patient, please write to us at nancyfloy@heartwoodcenter.com or call and leave a message at 847-491-9858 and we will return your call.

Heartwood Center is proud to be partnered with these organizations whose activities expand our mission to promote health and wellbeing.

The Heartwood Cancer Program provides free holistic healthcare for women, men and kids in financial need living with cancer. The services include:

  • a choice of free acupuncture, massage, bodywork or psychotherapy treatments
  • a choice of 12 free yoga, tai chi, meditation, or exercise classes
  • (in person classes currently suspended due to COVID 19)
  • an educational speaker’s bureau program to cancer support groups
  • advocacy, if needed

These are for women, men and kids of all ages in the Chicagoland area who could not otherwise afford to receive integrative therapy services.   Practitioners and teachers are located in Evanston at the Heartwood Center.  

For more information, please contact the HCP Coordinator, Nancy Floy, at 847-491-9858 or email.
