Mission Statement
The Virginia Thurston Healing Garden, Inc. is an educational nonprofit organization dedicated to providing integrative cancer care through therapeutic services, educational programs, and a healing environment for all people with a cancer diagnosis, as well as providing wellness education and support to promote cancer prevention for the community at large.
About This Cause
The Healing Garden is an educational, non-profit organization that serves patients, their caregivers and their families without regard to diagnosis, gender or financial limitations. Our program and services support cancer patients from diagnosis until end of life. Settled on a beautiful 8-acre garden property in Harvard, the Healing Garden is providing high-quality, evidenced-based psychological and physical support in an intentionally serene setting. Our philosophy is that a holistic approach to health and wellness will afford our clients the very best chance at great health outcomes. Our cancer care complements medical care and is instrumental in improving quality of life for all those who are affected by cancer. We utilize research-based best practice in integrative medicine – encouraging clients to combine traditional medical care with supportive complementary care, taking advantage of the interrelated functions of the brain and the body as it affects health. The Healing Garden facility and grounds offer the optimal quiet setting for education, and supportive programs and services - ranging from classes, support groups and counseling, to expressive art therapy, and bodywork that includes Reiki, Shiatsu, oncology massage and acupuncture. In FY19, Healing Garden clients utilized 3,574 visits to receive supportive and compassionate care designed to address their specific needs during cancer treatment and beyond. The center serves a diverse population of men and women, with an age range of 20-85, with any form of cancer, and their caregivers and families. The Healing Garden relies 100% on philanthropy. We solicit funds from private donors, hold two annual fundraising events and receive grants from Foundations and Corporations to meet our total proposed budget for the year.
