Essence of You Program

In January 2021, the Paternostro Cancer Foundation launched our newest initiative for cancer patients, Essence of You, in partnership with the Susquehanna Health Foundation.

Mission/Purpose of the Program:
To provide local patients facing cancer a momentary respite from their treatment by:

–Offering holistic opportunities for self-care

–Experiencing camaraderie with other survivors of cancer

-Learning a new skill in a supportive and caring environment

-Cultivating the “essence of you” in their daily lives.

A partnership between the Paternostro Cancer Foundation and the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center in Williamsport.
