The Cancer Support Community extends beyond the Arts in Medicine program, providing holistic care that addresses the physical, emotional and social well-being of individuals. With access to various support services and a team-based approach, patients receive comprehensive resources throughout their cancer journey.

As the Art Meets Medicine gallery commemorates its milestone, it highlights the incredible talent, resilience and hope of those affected by cancer. It serves as a reminder that art can be a powerful tool for healing, offering expression, connection and inspiration. Through this event, we celebrate the triumphs, honor the journeys and raise awareness about the integration of art in cancer care.
