The Peitz Cancer Support House provides a comprehensive support services program from first diagnosis throughout treatment and beyond in a home-like environment for cancer patients and their families. This is the area’s first line of support for cancer patients, and their families and friends. We are here to encourage you, from diagnosis through treatment.
