Wings of Hope was founded in 1987 as a monthly cancer support group.

People met to discuss issues about living with cancer. They began to learn from each other about ways to improve their quality of life. It became apparent many people shared this need to express their emotions in a group or individual setting.

In 1994, a steering committee was formed to explore expanding the Wings of Hope concept to provide more comprehensive services for people with cancer as well as their family members. Wings of Hope Cancer Support Center was independently established as a nonprofit organization in September 1994. Our goal then and now is to provide emotional support and guidance for people, family members and health professionals as they journey through their cancer experiences.
