In March of 2003, Breast Cancer Help, Inc. opened its Long
Island Cancer Help and
Wellness Center in Lindenhurst with the goal of increasing cancer awareness
to promote early detection, while providing patients and survivors with
needed support.
Since then it has held numerous lectures to increase early
detection and inform Long Islanders about medical advances and how to live
healthier. It has also developed ongoing programs to
provide cancer patients and survivors with the assistance they need to overcome
cancer through
complementary integrative modalities that meet their psychosocial needs.
These include a monthly support group, art therapy, massage therapy, and
yoga.
The Center has established one of New York's most active cancer support and
wellness programs.
