Weโ€™re proud to support UW Health | Carbone Cancer Center Rockford with funding that brings comfort and care beyond clinical treatment. ๐Ÿ’™

Patients attending the Head & Neck Cancer Support Group this month will experience the added comfort of massage therapy, through a partnership with BetterLife Wellness, in recognition of Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month.

For individuals facing head and neck cancer, healing is about more than medicine. Massage therapy can ease stress, create moments of relief during an incredibly challenging time and remind our patients they are cared for every step of the way.

Thank you to our generous donors for making this meaningful support possible at UW Health SwedishAmerican. ๐Ÿ™Œ
