Wellspring
Your Source for Living With Cancer
Wellspring, Valley Health’s cancer resource center, brings together
services to address the needs of the “whole” person experiencing
cancer and other chronic diseases. The center, which opened in October
2006, can help patients and their families find resources they need. Wellspring
is also a place for anyone to find unique products, pampering salon services,
and fun, uplifting and useful gifts.
Support services available at Wellspring include:
- Hair salon
-
More than Beauty, a program to help nourish the natural you, inside and
out, while you're undergoing treatments or when you just need a boost -

- Support group meetings
For people whose physical appearance and self-image are affected during
treatment and recovery, Wellspring is a one-stop location for practical
items such as natural skin and hair care products, wigs and wig accessories,
turbans, caps, hats and scarves.
Purchasing Wellspring salon services and retail products is a way to help
cancer patients. Your purchases allow us to provide cancer patients with
free salon services in support of their healing journey. Services including
wig fitting, haircuts, skincare and makeup tips are free to patients during
treatments. Our licensed professionals are experienced and trained to
work with those who need help with the changes they may experience during
their treatments.
We offer free personally-fitted new wigs for patients who do not have insurance
coverage to pay for a new wig, meet financial need criteria and have a
doctor’s order. This program is funded by the Winchester Medical
Center Foundation. We also have gently-used refurbished wigs available
for patients free of charge.
Wellspring offers a care bag to all cancer patients, compliments of the
Winchester Medical Center Foundation. The bag contains items to help patients
with their journey through treatment. Patients should bring the coupon
they receive from their doctor's office to Wellspring to pick up their
complimentary care bag.
Wellspring has been designed to create a sense of peace and serenity.
Those who need a few minutes of quiet can seek out the meditation space
and an area to sit and relax with a cup of tea.
Financial support for Wellspring is provided by the Winchester Medical
Center Foundation
