Ways to Give
Make a gift.
Treating cancer is a costly process. At WMCC, we are committed to providing treatment to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. To support that commitment, countless donors have made lifesaving contributions to our center to support patients.
Your gift to WMCC is critical to providing immediate relief to cancer patients facing enormous challenges. Every gift matters as we work to support patients in need and the valuable programs that sustain them on their cancer journey.

Make an in-kind donation.
WMCC is profoundly grateful to be a part of a generous community that supports us in fighting cancer. Because of your thoughtfulness, WMCC is able to offer many important programs and classes through our Patient Care Services. Patients and families depend on these programs to give them the tools they need to live their best life while fighting cancer. We couldn’t do it without you.
Host a fundraiser.
Every year community members give generously of their time and talents to plan fundraising events benefiting WMCC. Past events have included golf outings, sporting events, dinners, and house parties. Every dollar donated from these community events supports the mission of WMCC.
Get involved, volunteer.
Volunteers are the heart of the WMCC team. Our volunteers work together with staff and donors in our common mission to defeat cancer.
WMCC volunteers are dedicated, compassionate people of all ages who make a shining difference in the lives of our patients.
Some of our volunteers have defeated cancer themselves and want to pay forward their gratitude, while others may just have a service or talent they want to share.
Whatever your reasons for volunteering, you can look forward to a richly rewarding experience.
Your donations at work.
Our fund supports the following programming:
Planning for health care in the future is an important step toward making sure you get the medical care you would want if you cannot speak for yourself and doctors and family members need to make decisions for you.
Programming supports survivors and families in coping with the cancer journey through artistic expression. Our next opportunity will be posted in the summer of 2021.
This newly added program (June 2021) allows a select number of patients to acquire an organic produce box from Long Valley Farm for a span of 18 weeks. The patients can be any current WMCC patient with the wish to eat healthy.
With the transition of medical oncology to Ascension Borgess and Bronson, the patient population at WMCC has changed. Renovation of the space is needed to ensure that our new patient population is better served. More information will come as this project is in the works.
This program provides onsite patients with chair massage services by licensed therapists for relaxation, circulation stimulation, and other health benefits. Click here for more information.
An important program through the surgical oncology department that provides the Impact Drink free of charge to each patient prescribed it by their provider. This nutritional supplement is essential for improving surgical healing and recovery.
Not every patient can pay every bill. WMCC ensures that all current patients receive the highest quality care, regardless of their ability to pay.
Some patients lack reliable transportation. This program secures rides to WMCC to ensure all treatment schedules are followed. It also provides patients with same-day appointments at both WMCC and Bronson Cancer Center transportation between the two locations.
Our Coping Together support groups aid patients currently in treatment or up to six months post-treatment at WMCC. The group shares friendship while covering a wide variety of topics related to their cancer experiences. Currently, our Coping Together support group series is on pause. Please check back periodically for future offerings. If you have any questions, please contact our social work department by phone at 269.384.8629 or by email at socialwork@wmcc.org.
A post-treatment exercise program for all patients who have completed treatment as a way to strengthen their bodies and resume a healthy lifestyle.
On an annual basis, WMCC provides a free educational evening for patients and a guest who are either currently in treatment or have completed treatment.
