Music has a unique way of helping us feel connected, comforted, and understood.

Join us for an inspiring evening exploring the healing power of music and the ways it can support emotional well-being, self-expression, hope, and connection during and after cancer.

As music therapist Mary Helen Ekstam beautifully shared, music can nourish the spirit and help keep the mind, body, and spirit connected.

Thank you to our volunteer ambassadors, DeB and Jeffrey, for representing Wellness House at Advocate Good Samaritan's Cancer Survivors Day celebration last week at Oak Brook Manor.

Throughout the event, they connected with survivors, caregivers, and families, sharing information about Wellness House programs and helping many people discover our free cancer support services for the very first time. Several attendees even registered for upcoming Wellness House programs on the spot.

The event welcomed 114 guests, including 65 cancer survivors, for a day dedicated to celebrating strength and resilience. We are grateful to have been part of such a meaningful event.

Thank you, DeB and Jeffrey, for being such wonderful ambassadors for Wellness House and for helping ensure more people know that they do not have to face cancer alone.

Last night, the Wellness House Board, Lifetime Trustees, and friends of Wellness House gathered at the Hyatt Lodge in Oak Brook for our annual Lifetime Trustee Dinner.

Even a tornado watch couldn't dampen the spirit of the evening!

Guests enjoyed an inspiring presentation from Wayne Jonas, MD, a nationally recognized leader in whole-person cancer care, who shared how healing involves much more than treating disease. His message reflected the same whole-person approach that has guided Wellness House for more than 35 years.

We were also honored to present the Heart of the House Award to Patricia B. Smith, PhD, recognizing her many years of service as a Wellness House volunteer and leader of the Flute Circle. Her kindness, dedication, and passion have touched countless lives.

The evening concluded with the celebration of Kerstin and Geoff Regnery as Wellness House Lifetime Trustees. Through years of leadership, volunteerism, philanthropy, and advocacy, they have helped advance the mission of Wellness House and ensure more individuals and families affected by cancer receive support, hope, and connection.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this meaningful evening.

You'll learn:
The basics of whole-person cancer care
How stress, daily habits, support systems, and environment influence healing
Ways patients and caregivers can partner with their healthcare teams
Practical guidance for navigating different stages of cancer
