WOMEN AND CANCER PROGRAM

Heartwood Providing Free Holistic Healthcare for Women in Need

Heartwood is proud to announce the fourth Women and Cancer Program, sponsored in partnership with the Rogers Park Community Council. Heartwood is dedicated to making what the center has to offer — exceptional holistic healthcare — available to people of all financial means.

Holistic healthcare treatments benefit both the mental and physical health of women living with cancer at any stage in progression. The program's goal is to treat women who need services beyond the realm of traditional western medicine, yet cannot afford them.

The program is funded by the State of Illinois Department of Public Health with the driving support of State Senator Carol Ronen. With this funding, Heartwood is able to provide services at no cost to women living with cancer who may be experiencing financial difficulties.

Working with Program Director Terri Clemens, participants will assess their own needs and be matched with appropriate services. Heartwood has many skilled practitioners offering healing services such as psychotherapy, acupuncture, and body work. Gifted teachers at Heartwood offer classes in T'ai Chi, Nia, meditation and yoga.
