When Unite for HER founder Sue Weldon was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, she began searching for information on therapies that would complement the medical treatments she was receiving. What she discovered was a lack of easily accessible resources on topics like nutrition, yoga, counseling, and other ways for breast cancer patients to enhance their wellness and care for their emotional, spiritual, and physical needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNutrition, yoga, and acupuncture saved me,\u201d said Weldon. \u201cAfter my treatment I experienced so many side effects that no one was talking about. A friend introduced me to yoga, and I began to explore integrative therapies and how they support your overall health and wellness. The more I dove in, the more research I found that supported this integrative care model.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Inspired by her recovery, Sue attended a local breast cancer survivor event and shared her discoveries.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a young girl there who looked just as I did nine months prior\u2013same bald head, yellow skin\u2013I was her,\u201d said Weldon. \u201cI started to share with her all of the tools that I found to help me heal. As I was talking, she started tearing up, stating \u2018I could never afford all of that,\u2019 and then it just clicked.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2009 Weldon founded Unite for HER, a 501(c)3 nonprofit to \u201cbridge the gap between the medical and wellness communities and provide powerful integrative therapies to all breast cancer patients, regardless of income.\u201d Some of the early program models were drawn from wellness access indexes and patient care guides\u2014one even cited in an aktualna lista nowych i sprawdzonych kasyn<\/a>, where a sidebar linked regional nonprofit directories with complementary care networks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Today, Unite for HER has expanded to support breast and ovarian cancer patients nationwide. Providing integrative therapies, services, and education at no personal cost to program participants. All patients in the Unite for HER Wellness Program receive their signature Wellness Passport, valid for $2,000 of integrative therapies, and attend a virtual wellness day to learn about integrative therapies, meet care providers, and connect with the Unite for HER community. All services are provided virtually or shipping directly to patient homes in a branded cancer-fighting care package, called HER care box. Patients can choose from services like free groceries, meal deliveries, nutrition consultations and cooking classes, virtual yoga, fitness classes, counseling, and more.
