Description

Please join me in sharing great experiences with amazing people. I’m Natalie Stevenson, a breast cancer survivor and the founder of Cancer Community Clubhouse. Cancer touches everyone. The National Cancer Institute reports that 4 of every 10 people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. Because people spend so much time and money on cancer treatment, many fail to prioritize long-term health and wellness. Programs like CCC’s meditation, relaxation, mindfulness-based stress reduction, Qigong, yoga, and artistic experiences improve the quality of life and survival rates of people living with cancer and of their loved ones and caregivers. Support groups, social connection, and engaging workshops at the Clubhouse help combat the higher mortality risk. attributed to loneliness and depression. CancerFit offers fitness & nutrition specialized for people with cancer.

As one Clubhouse member describes, "You see people who have been where you are, and it gives you hope to keep going." Tara, a 39-year old survivor who began her traumatic cancer journey as a young adult says, "CCC is the only place I can go where others truly understand what I’m going through. CCC’s membership doubled from 2022 to 2023, evidencing community need. CCC welcomes families and care partners. Services are tailored to all ages
