The Gilda's Club philosophy of providing an emotional and social support community as an essential complement to medical treatment when cancer is in the family enables the organization to serve as a beacon for the provision of health care services in the 21st Century.
The Simcoe Muskoka Gilda’s Club opened its doors in May of 2010. It provides a warm and welcoming meeting place, free of charge, where men, women and children of all ages can gather, informally to "be" in a community of others who are facing cancer. The Club’s innovative program is an essential complement to medical care, providing networking and support groups, workshops, education and social activities to anyone who feels they need support during a difficult time.
