Cancer Care.
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.

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.
