Supporting Women on Their Cancer Journey

The Center for Courageous Health helps women access evidence-informed integrative oncology services alongside conventional cancer treatment. Through charitable grants, patient navigation, and collaborative partnerships, we work to reduce financial barriers and expand access to compassionate, whole-person support during treatment, recovery, and survivorship.

How It Works

Request Support

Complete a brief, confidential application sharing information about your diagnosis, treatment plan, financial situation, and the supportive services you are seeking.

Connect with Our Team

A Patient Navigator will review your application, reach out to you and answer questions, help determine eligibility, and discuss the services and resources that may best support your needs.

Access Care

If approved, we will help connect you with Collaborative Partners who provide evidence-informed integrative oncology services. Through provider discounts, charitable grants, and community support, we work to reduce financial barriers to care. Participants are asked to contribute based on their individual circumstances, creating a shared approach that helps make supportive care more accessible and sustainable for everyone.

Confidentiality:

We respect your privacy. Information shared with CCH is used to review eligibility, coordinate grant-supported services, support patient navigation, and evaluate program impact.

Testimonials, stories, or identifying information will never be shared publicly without your separate written permission.

Are you a licensed integrative practitioner—ND, LAc, LMT, PT, DC, counselor, nutritionist, or another provider—dedicated to supporting women with cancer?

The Center for Courageous Health invites collaborative partners to generously contribute a portion of their services. CCH raises funds through grants and community donations to help cover costs, and patients contribute according to their financial ability. Together, we share the responsibility of care, making integrative support more accessible for women navigating cancer.
