Mission Statement
To create a comprehensive cancer treatment plan for cancer patients and their families incorporating the tools and techniques created by Dr. Simonton to address not only the physical ramifications of disease but the psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects as well.
About This Cause
For over 50 years, the Simonton Cancer Center has been a leader in the scientifically proven mind-body approach for treating cancer patients. The Center's integrated program was the first of its kind in the world, and was pioneered by the physician most often considered the "father of mind-body medicine" for cancer- radiation oncologist, O. Carl Simonton, MD. Based in the field of Psychoneuroimmunology, the Simonton method focuses on interactions between the mind and the body—how beliefs, attitudes, lifestyle choices, spiritual and psychological perspectives impact our physiology and immune function, and how they can dramatically affect health, the course of disease, and our overall well-being. At the heart of the Center’s mission is the world renown "Getting Well Again" Program, a five-day retreat based on Dr. Simonton's successful model for emotional and stress intervention, patient education, and support. We are now offering this program in a virtual format for those who can not or do not wish to travel due to covid issues. Dr. Simonton strongly believed the tools and techniques taught at SCC programs are critical components of a comprehensive cancer treatment plan - the 'missing link' in cancer care. Research continues to prove that examining these areas can lead to improved physical and mental health.
