Our Mission
The mission of Compassionate Care™ Foundation, (CCF) is to provide our North Country cancer community with access to complementary, integrative therapies that improve quality of life and patient experience.
Our roots are firmly planted in the extraordinary study findings on the benefits of integrative medicine. Integrative medicine employs complementary therapies that work in tandem with conventional medicine to treat the whole person— mind, body and spirit.
The Compassionate Care Foundation aims to ease the emotional trauma of a cancer diagnosis through education, family support, community involvement and integrative therapies. Integrative cancer care combines evidence-based treatments with standard treatments to provide supportive and preventative care. To learn more, watch the interview with our founder, Monica Behan.
Thinking globally, acting locally.
Looking to the world’s leading integrative cancer centers and top oncologists for guidance, we are connecting our local cancer community with integrative practitioners and funding therapies like massage therapy, reiki and acupuncture for cancer patients. In addition, The Compassionate Care™ Foundation also provides ongoing educational campaigns and community events.
Our goal is to create an experience for the patient where they feel nurtured and connected through compassionate care throughout their cancer journey. We offer individual support from diagnosis to treatment, as well as for those receiving palliative care.
