The Cancer Center for Healthy Living is a non-profit organization located in Peoria, Illinois. The Center was founded in 1996 by a group of people touched by cancer, 6 of whom were cancer patients or survivors. This group was brought together by their common need for support beyond their medical treatment. They found no emotional support services in Central Illinois. In turn they developed a complete vision of emotional support and complementary care to meet the non-medical needs of thousands of cancer survivors and their families and friends.
The Cancer Center for Healthy Living affirms that healing occurs at emotional, mental and spiritual, and physical levels. CCHL believes in wellness programs and resources that promote a balance of mind, body and spirit. These programs enhance the quality of life and health of those affected by cancer and contributes to the healing process.
It is the Center's mission to offer services that complement the efforts of medical centers, the medical profession and other cancer organizations. CCHL is not affiliated with any medical or religious group, nor does it provide medical advice or treatment. CCHL welcomes anyone whose life has been affected by cancer and who is interested in learning skills for healthy living.
CCHL has a wide variety of programs and services free of charge to cancer patients, survivors and their caregivers. CCHL's programs include:
-Individual and Group Counseling
