Waterford Place Waterford Place Cancer Resource Center offers services and support, free of charge, to anyone impacted by a cancer diagnosis.

Welcome to Waterford Place Cancer Resource Center where services and support, free of charge, are available to anyone impacted by a cancer diagnosis. For most people, facing this disease is filled with fear, indecision and often, treatment plans that can be physically and emotionally demanding. Waterford Place staff and volunteers aim to provide comforting, understanding and fortifying resources for those in any stage of treatment or survivorship—along with their loved ones. Waterford Place is where help meets hope. Inside Waterford Place, you’ll find a warm, welcoming space that offers an array of information and programs on specific cancer types. Programming focuses on the practical, from what to expect from treatment to how to balance practical concerns such as finances, working, health insurance as well as the emotional side of the disease. Regular lectures from clinical specialists and other health professionals help keep you informed on the latest research and treatment options, and on topics such as how to help caregivers and maintain relationships.

8 Days Until Christmas | Comfort & Calm

In a season that often asks us to do more, we gently remind you that rest is enough. A deep breath. A quiet moment. A little less pressure. However you find comfort today, we hope you give yourself permission to receive it.

15 days until Christmas… and for many facing cancer, the wish list looks a little different this year.

Some are hoping for a good scan.
Some are hoping for less pain.
Some are hoping for energy to be present with the people they love.
Some simply want a moment of peace… or to feel like themselves again.

If this season feels different for you, we see you.
Your hopes, whether big or small, matter.
And you are not walking this journey alone.
