Celebrating more than 25 years of serving cancer clients and their families, our wellness services are accessible to women and men aged 18 and over facing any cancer diagnosis, including the parents of children battling cancer.
With our new identity as The Cancer Wellness Center of NEPA, we aim to broaden our reach while staying true to our founding vision of providing a haven for holistic support — encompassing physical, emotional, and social well-being — for those affected by cancer.
Our objective is to ensure that everyone who enters our doors feels embraced, at ease, and supported. New clients and their families are welcomed into a community where they forge enduring connections with our staff and volunteers, finding comfort among fellow cancer clients, survivors, and caregivers.
As a cancer wellness resource center, we work hard to provide support to our cancer clients and their loved ones in a welcoming, supportive, and relaxing environment.
The Cancer Wellness Center is a nonprofit organization. Without your help and generosity, we would not be able to provide the services and support we offer to those who need it.

My friend suggested coming down to Candy’s Place. I had never heard of it, but came here and I found warm and caring hugs, therapies, and classes. I couldn’t believe that this was available for me and it was free!

One of our clients referred to Candy’s Place as her oasis. She said it was what she looked forward to between her doctor visits and chemotherapy treatments. Doctors concentrate on a person’s illness, but at Candy’s Place, we focus on wellness.

With the help of the staff, volunteers and others touched by cancer, I learned to do more than just survive. At Candy’s Place I began to thrive. I am painfully aware that everyone’s journey through cancer is difficult, and for most of us the bad days far outweigh the good.

I unfortunately did not know about Candy’s Place when I was going through chemotherapy and radiation and always thought there should be something more out there for cancer patients and their families. And sure enough, I guess when I needed it most, I found Candy’s Place and it’s been a lifesaver to me.
