Wellspring Calgary has been delivering supportive care to those living with cancer and their families since March 2007
Modelled after a successful network of eight centres and seven satellite sites located in eastern Canada. The Calgary was centre was founded by John Stephure, Rita Egizii and Barbara Cunnings-Versaevel and is the first in western Canada.
Wellspring offers members education and expressive programs, movement, exercise and relaxation therapies, a speaker series, peer support, and community resources from an on-site lending library.
Programs and services are complimentary to those available through local cancer care community and are facilitated by professional leaders in their respective fields.
The work of Wellspring is funded through the generosity of donors and supporters; donations are graciously accepted and are CRA tax receiptable.
More than 15,000 hours of free programming is delivered each year to members. Over 120 volunteers share their time and talent to ensure Wellspring’s smooth operation.
Wellspring collaborates with and is endorsed by healthcare professionals in the supportive cancer care community.
Wellspring participates in research to measure and validate the benefits and value of the programs it provides.
Wellspring is grateful for the support of third party fundraisers and hosts an annual golf tournament and yogathon in support of our work.
