Tomorrow is our once a month Womens Cancer Survivorship Support Group, Beyond Survival.

Once treatment ends, we know the effects of cancer do not simply disappear. Healing continues physically, emotionally, and mentally long after treatment is over. This group is designed for those who are further along in their survivorship journey and looking for connection, encouragement, and support with others who truly understand.

Tomorrow we have a fun watercolor activity planned! 🎨

If you or someone you know could use support, community, and connection, we would love for you to join us.

Hello everyone! Casey Smith, here! I am the Program Coordinator and Counselor here at Wellness House Yakima. It has come to my attention that there’s a need for a space specifically for women who have been in remission for many years because their needs often look different than those who are newly diagnosed. With that in mind I want to share something new we’re offering here at Wellness House in the Yakima Valley that I’m really excited about.

It’s called Beyond Survival, and it’s a women’s group for those who are living beyond cancer and trying to figure out what life looks like now. This isn’t your typical sit-and-talk support group, there’s no pressure to share or explain your story unless you want to.
Instead, we focus on community and connection through simple, meaningful activities like floral arranging, gentle movement, tea or coffee time together, creative projects, journaling, and even things like light cooking. It’s really about being in a space with other women who understand, without having to say everything out loud.
If you’ve been looking for something that feels a little easier, a little lighter, and still really supportive, you are welcome here. If you know someone in our Yakima Valley community who could use this, feel free to share.

STARTING ON TUESDAY APRIL 21ST BEYOND SURVIVAL WILL MEET ON THE 3RD TUESDAY OF EVERY MONTH FROM 1:00-2:30, HAS THE POTENTIAL TO MEET MORE OFTEN DEPENDING ON GROUP NEEDS. Please call 509-575-6686 to reserve your spot as space for this group will be limited.

At this year’s Volunteer Appreciation event, we had the honor of recognizing an extraordinary individual whose dedication truly embodies the heart of Wellness House.

💙 Congratulations to Shelby Anderson, recipient of the Ollie Nelson Guardian Angel Award!

Shelby works tirelessly behind the scenes—quietly, consistently, and with incredible heart—to move the Wellness House mission forward. Her unwavering commitment, attention to detail, and willingness to step in wherever needed make a lasting impact on everyone we serve.
While her work may not always be in the spotlight, its effect is felt in every program, every connection, and every life touched by Wellness House.

Shelby, thank you for being a guiding light and a true guardian angel to our community. We are so grateful for all you do! 💫
