Who We Are and What We Do

We are a patient support group for women undergoing cancer treatment.  We offer informal peer and caregiver support in a non-judgmental, caring, and confidential manner, with an understanding of both the cancer experience and issues specific to Jewish women and their families. Through its partnership with Wellspring, L’Chaim facilitates connections with women diagnosed with cancer on a one-to-one basis. You can speak with other women who share your experience. In addition, L’Chaim is committed to increasing cancer awareness in the community through its educational programs.
