GIVE! Bring hope home to Survivor Wellness

Thank you for supporting Survivor Wellness! Founded in 1997 as Cancer Wellness House, we provide services, support and community for cancer survivors and their caregivers in two welcoming homes in the heart of Salt Lake City. As our members say, "This place heals the things the doctors cannot."

Your one-time or recurring donation provides free and reduced cost wellness services for anyone who has heard the words, "you have cancer". Stepping through the doors of the homes is the first step to healing.

OUR STORY:
For over 25 years, Survivor Wellness, founded in 1997 as Cancer Wellness House, has provided the cancer survivor community with lifetime access to affordable, high-quality integrative health care services and support in a home-like environment. Programming is provided free of charge or at a reduced rate for anyone affected by a cancer diagnosis (including caregivers and loved ones), and includes: group and individual health counseling and support; individual integrative health care therapies (massage therapy, reiki, yoga therapy, etc.), group classes (yoga, qigong, mindfulness, etc.), community events, wellness retreats, and more.

Our Wellness Partners provide reduced cost services for members of Survivor Wellness. Wellness Partners are businesses operated at our location by the professional staff members who volunteer their time monthly to provide free services for our members. Thank you for supporting the Wellness Partners by booking first-come, first-serve appointments with them.

Survivor Wellness also offers integrative health care trainees, providers and clinicians with education, training, and startup business opportunities via our incubator program, The Wellness Institute.

Programs are delivered at our beautiful campus located in two historic homes in central Salt Lake City with 40,000 square feet of space, including a yoga/movement studio and event space, a private counseling cottage, as well as beautiful gardens and outdoor spaces. (Online options are also available for certain programs.)

We accept anyone affected by a cancer diagnosis, without any demonstration of financial need. Just as the course of cancer cannot be predicted, neither can the effects of diagnosis and treatment - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, and financial. Programming is intended to alleviate the burdens and increase wellness in all of these areas.

As our clients say, "This place heals the things the doctors cannot."

Programming at Survivor Wellness is funded by foundations, businesses, and individuals like you.

We provide an estimated 1000 user days per year, and around 65% of our clientele live at or below the AMI. We are extremely grateful for the support of our donors and granting organizations.

All donors are encouraged to attend our annual event, Survivors at the Summit, which has been held continuously for 25 years. We celebrate the triumph of the human spirit with the ascent to the summit of Hidden Peaks at Snowbird Resort, where yellow Tribute Flags inscribed with names of those living with and lost to cancer fly their messages over the Wasatch Mountains.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

This organization was established by Tika Beard and a host of courageous members and dedicated caregivers of the cancer community in Salt Lake City, Utah. The current staff and administration of Survivor Wellness offers our deepest respect and gratitude to these trailblazers.

Our organization honors the history of Holy Cross Hospital, the Montgomery Family, and those who work courageously to serve those living with cancer in the Salt Lake City area and beyond.

We acknowledge that Survivor Wellness sits on the ancestral, unceded ground and homelands of the indigenous Ute, Paiute, Shoshone and Goshute tribes.

Thank you.
