Cancer Care.

“They helped me keep my identity.” — Candice Monger

Candice was awarded a grant from Cancer Care to purchase a custom wig to match the perfect shade of red that her hair was before chemotherapy. Candice is now in remission, living life to the fullest, and says that she can’t express enough how thankful she is to the Foundation, to the Cancer Care program and donors who make such grants possible.

Cancer Care Committee

You can help! Because of YOU, we have grown our cancer care assistance funds to close to $100,000 annually. These dollars support pay expenses such as rent, mortgage, utilities, gasoline and medical expenses. The need is urgent and ongoing. We are grateful for the additional patients we will be able to support through your generosity.

Support Cancer Patients & Their Families

The NEW Community Health Foundation’s Cancer Care assistance has established funds to support patients with financial distress as they undergo the often lengthy treatments a cancer diagnosis involves.

Includes:

  • Penguin Cold Cap Therapy

  • Free Supplies at our Cancer Boutique

  • Mastectomy Supplies

Penguin Cold Caps

Penguin cold cap therapy & scalp cooling will soon be available at the Heptner Cancer Center thanks to Festival of Trees. Cold Cap Therapy is a specialized treatment to help stop the loss of hair while undergoing chemotherapy. Most patients retain between 60% to 90% of their hair.

Contact the Patient Navigator at 307.696.7419 for more information.

Cancer Boutique & Resource Center

The Cancer Boutique is located in the Heptner Cancer Center and was created to help provide educational materials for cancer patients and to give a comfortable place to receive mastectomy fittings. Patients also have access to a free wig, hat, or headwrap while undergoing treatment.

The cancer boutique was funded by the Wyoming Breast Cancer Initiative.
