Organization Description

Since 1986, the Women's Cancer Resource Center has provided support to women with cancer and their loved ones. Currently, our menu of services includes support groups, in-home support, one-on-one psychotherapy, patient navigation, wellness workshops, and an information and referral helpline. While our services are women-centered, we assist individuals of various sexes and genders. All of our services are free. WCRC seeks to support women with cancer in improving their quality of life.

Hours of operation 

WCRC's business hours are 10a-4p, Monday-Thursday. We have support groups and wellness workshops outside of these hours (evenings & weekends). For the IHSP, the hours are defined by what the client and intern arrange. Weekend and evening hours are options depending on the client's and intern's schedules. That said, the hours of service need to be vetted by the IHSP program manager.
