The Peitz Cancer Support House opened 13 years ago today on October 24, 2000. The PCSH has touched thousands of lives and been a unique resource to numerous cancer patients and their families and friends.

The PCSH is our communityand#39;s first line of cancer support, from diagnosis through treatment and survivorship. The PCSH is there to support and encourage cancer patients and their families and friends through one-on-one sessions, educational seminars and exercise programs as well as access to the extensive resource library, wig and turban bank and mastectomy/lumpectomy supplies. All services and support sessions are available free of charge, thanks to our community's generous support.

Baxter Regional Hospital Foundationand#39;s Lend-A-Hand campaign benefits the Peitz Cancer Support House in addition to the three other community health education and support houses - Mruk Family Education Center on Aging, Reppell Diabetes Learning Center and Schliemann Center for Women's Health Education.
