Our Mission
The mission of Compassionate Care™ Foundation, (CCF) is to provide our Northern New York cancer community with access to complementary, integrative therapies that improve quality of life and the cancer care experience.
Integrative medicine incorporates complementary therapies that work in tandem with conventional medicine to treat the whole person— mind, body and spirit.
The Compassionate Care Foundation supports cancer patients through education, family support, community involvement and integrative therapies. Integrative cancer care combines evidence-based therapies with standard treatments to provide supportive care.

Thinking globally, acting locally.
Looking to the world’s leading integrative cancer centers and top oncologists for guidance, we are connecting our local cancer community with integrative practitioners and funding therapies like massage therapy, reiki and acupuncture for cancer patients. In addition, The Compassionate Care™ Foundation also provides ongoing educational campaigns and community events.
Our goal is to create an experience for the patient where they feel nurtured and connected through compassionate care throughout their cancer journey. We offer individual support from diagnosis to treatment, as well as for those receiving palliative care.
