Cancer Classes and Groups
Helping ease your journey.
The Legacy Cancer Institute provides a range of groups and classes to support you and your family through the diagnosis, treatment and recovery of cancer. These support groups and classes provide ongoing education, activities and emotional support for individuals whose lives are touched by cancer. Our holistic approach sets us apart, because we understand that you have a life, not just a diagnosis.
- The Legacy Cancer Healing Center offers virtual and in-person groups and classes.
- Our classes and groups are offered for free to those in our community affected by cancer.
- No classes are held on these holidays: Memorial Day, Labor Day, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve
