Gilda’s Club Kansas City is here to meet participants where they are in their cancer journey. We understand that not everyone is able to attend programs due to illness, scheduling conflicts, or personal circumstance, but they still need our services. It is for this reason that some of our free virtual and hybrid classes have been recorded and posted on our YouTube channel! This includes Healthy Lifestyle, Exercise and Relaxation, as well as Educational Classes. We also recently added a series of recorded classes with our Occupational Therapy Student, Katie Henderson. You are welcome to view these for free at any time by clicking any of the below squares of by visiting our channel for more.

About Our Program
-
This digital version of our brochure is a great resource for member quotes and information about our group!
Our five-part model was created to help anyone create a program custom program that works for them. At Gilda’s Club, you are welcome to participate in as many or few aspects of our resources as you’d like.
-
As a community of people who are learning how to live with cancer, and as professionals who are communicating about, facilitating and administering the Gilda’s Club Kansas City Program, we pay great attention to the language we use that supports our philosophy, and we avoid language that would reinforce popular misconceptions about cancer.
