How We Help
The Support We All Need
Wellspring Alberta is a province-wide charity, offering programs and services, at no charge and without referral, to anyone, with any type of cancer, at any stage in their journey.
The Need
Hearing the words “you have cancer” is life changing. Over 60 Albertans are diagnosed with cancer every day, and 80% have significant physical, emotional, and financial challenges that go well beyond the important medical treatments they receive in hospital. That’s where Wellspring fits in.
Our Solution
Wellspring is a leader in cancer support programming, devoting itself exclusively to the unique non-medical impacts of having cancer. At Wellspring, people living with cancer, their families and friends can exchange information, develop a support system and create a sense of hope in a warm, caring community. A registered charity, Wellspring offers programs and services that meet the emotional, social, physical and practical needs of people living with cancer and those who care for them. All Wellspring’s evidence-informed programs and services are free-of-charge and available without referral.
