Cape Wellness Collaborative

Cape Wellness Collaborative (CWC) provides integrative wellness therapies to individuals on Cape Cod and the Islands who are facing cancer. Our services support those undergoing or recovering from radiation, chemotherapy, or oncology-related surgery. We also assist individuals with a positive genetic test for inherited cancer risk who are undergoing preventive (prophylactic) surgery.

Eligible individuals can apply for a Wellness Card valued at $750, which can be used for integrative therapies with our partnering practitioners. Caregivers may also receive a $200 Wellness Card. To qualify, applicants must have received a new cancer diagnosis within the past 12 months.

Our History:

Inspired to make a difference in her community after losing her mother to ovarian cancer, local musician Sarah Swain created the Cape Cod Women’s Music Festival in 2012. In 2014, Sarah founded Cape Wellness Collaborative, which works with a team of outstanding local wellness professionals to provide free-of-charge integrative wellness therapies to those facing cancer on Cape Cod and the Islands. After doing genetic testing, Sarah underwent a prophylactic double mastectomy and oophorectomy, which you can read about here.

In 2020, Sarah was awarded the American Red Cross of Massachusetts Community Service Hero Award, and in 2021 she was picked as a Human Rights Honoree on behalf of the Church Women United of Cape Cod. Needless to say, Sarah's work has made a broad reach within the Cape Cod community and beyond.
