As we continue to follow Governor Wolf’s and the CDC’s directive, our center is temporarily closed.
We realize life still happens and if you find yourself with a new cancer diagnosis we want you to know we are here to help. Please call us at 570-714-8800 or email us at info@cancerwellnessnepa.org. We will send you our paperwork for you to complete and return so we can get you processed and readily serve you once we return plus stay in touch during this time.
Now more than ever human support and connection is vital. We want you to know you are not alone.
Lisa Orlandini,
Director, Candy’s Place Cancer & Wellness Center
When we are able to reopen, we will be in need of PPE to help safeguard our clients and staff from the spread of COVID-19. Anyone who wishes to donate PPE items including masks (homemade or medical), gloves, sanitizer, disinfecting sprays or wipes may contact info@cancerwellnessnepa.org. Thank you for your donations!
NEPA Gives is an exciting opportunity to help us continue to help you and others in the northeast area! Your generosity helps keep our doors open, the lights on, and the hands of our therapists providing their magic to ease the stress, pain, side effects and more of living with a cancer diagnosis. Won’t you consider marking your calendar to join in this day of giving?
As a cancer and wellness resource center, we work hard to provide support to our cancer clients and their loved ones in a welcoming, supportive, and relaxing environment.
Candy’s Place is a non profit organization. Without your help and generosity, we would not be able to provide the services and support that we offer to the individuals who need it.
Here is a reference list for a variety of cancer related programs, educational materials and facilities for those battling cancer and their families.
While we recognize that nothing beats in-person services, we hope that this collection of videos will help you stay active and centered while you’re stuck at home.

Stay safe and well. We can’t wait to practice with you in person!

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.
