Gilda’s Club offers cancer support to all people with all types of cancer, as well as their family and friends.  All support services are run by trained and licensed professionals.

We empower people with knowledge

• By providing a safe place where people can learn from the wisdom of others who are also going through the cancer experience.

• Through our educational lectures, workshops and informational meetings for cancer survivors, from initial diagnosis through survivorship, empowering patients and families to make informed health-related decisions.

• By providing resources and referrals to empower individuals to learn how to live with cancer whatever the outcome.

We strengthen people by action

• Through our personalized assessment and support care plan that helps individuals identify their specific needs and outlines specific program activities that address those needs.

• By supporting individuals as they develop the skills and resources needed to play an active role in their cancer care and to live fully with and beyond a cancer diagnosis and embrace a “new normal” throughout their lives.

• By having children participate in our curriculum based Kid Support™ program.

• By offering health and wellness programs, including exercise, nutrition, and stress reduction.

We sustain people by community

• Through our free cancer support and networking groups for individuals and their loved ones who are impacted by cancer.

• By delivering our program where people live, work and worship.

• By collaborating with strategic community partners to deliver our programs throughout Greater Milwaukee into community centers, schools, hospitals and churches.
