Charity Spotlight
 Wellness House of Annapolis
From the initial cancer diagnosis, a ripple effect takes place within the family; the patients and those around them look for support, guidance, and ways to cope with the overwhelming news. Beyond the fear and questioning, doctors’ appointments, and hospital visits, there are difficult decisions to be made, additional schedules to juggle, and new arrangements to be orchestrated—just to stay afloat during treatment and recovery.
And on top of all of this, somehow, regular life must go on.
Fortunately, there’s Wellness House of Annapolis—a unique place in our community where cancer patients and their loved ones can find the support and strength they need to focus on recovery and healing.
Wellness House of Annapolis serves anyone impacted by cancer: cancer patients going through treatment and recovery, their spouses, their children, their caregivers, and their friends. They also serve as a valuable resource for community members working or associating with cancer patients and their families, such as teachers, guidance counselors, doctors, and clergy.
Cancer Facts:
- 5 out of every 1,000 Marylanders will develop cancer each year.
- Anne Arundel County has the highest rate of cancer in the State of Maryland.
- The better patients understand cancer and its effects, the better they can cope and recover.
- Cancer patients who receive education and support show positive benefits compared to those who don’t, including lower levels of depression, anxiety, and disease-related symptoms, as well as improved immune system functioning.
