We would like to begin this annual report by thanking you. Thank you for allowing us to walk alongside you in your journey, thank you for trusting us with your precious resources, and thank you for your ongoing commitment to the Cancer Support Community!

2011 was another year of exciting growth and evolution for our organization. November 2009 brought the union of Gilda’s Club Worldwide and The Wellness Community, garnering more than 50 years of collective experience caring for the psychosocial needs of people touched by cancer. In June 2011, this union became formal and the Cancer Support Community was on its way! We celebrated the opening of our Research and Training Institute; we delivered the first-ever Index to better understand the many facets of the breast cancer journey; we worked hard to touch over 1,000,000 patients and their family members; and we had a little fun along the way.

We are thrilled that through our work with the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer and our partners in the cancer (l to r) Laura Wheat, Kim Thiboldeaux, and community, the importance of distress screening was validated through the Chuck Scheper inclusion of screening as a formal requirement for cancer programs nationwide. We believe this will clearly impact the patient experience in a very positive way, and we are proud to be a part of it.

We are equally thrilled and proud to have been recognized by Philanthropedia as one of its top nonprofit organizations for 2011, and we were awarded a 4-star rating with Charity Navigator. The Cancer Support Community was recognized for our role in filling a unique gap in the cancer field by addressing psychosocial and mental health issues as well as for providing quality education materials.

As you will see in the pages to follow, we remain true to one mission: ensuring that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community. Through our cutting-edge research, direct patient and caregiver services, and our work in Washington, D.C. to impact policy change, we are well positioned to change the face of the cancer experience to the benefit of all patients, survivors and caregivers.

We look forward to our ongoing partnership with you as we all continue to face the formidable opponent that is cancer, and as we honor our commitment to ensure—together—that no one faces cancer alone.

Warm regards,

6 cancer support community Welcome to the Sheep Barn: Home of CSC’s Research and Training Institute

The Cancer Support Community’s Research and Training Institute reflects a bold new vision of how best to serve the needs of all people impacted by cancer. The setting for the Institute perfectly complements this vision. Built before 1763 on a hill overlooking the Schuylkill River in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, Ridgeland Mansion served for decades as a residence for its Park directors. In 1997, this historic complex became the home of the Cancer Support Community Philadelphia, one of 57 CSC affiliates worldwide. In 2010, the Cancer Support Community expanded its presence in Fairmount Park when it began the renovation of the Sheep Barn on the Ridgeland property, as the location of its Research and Training Institute. Constructed in 1879, the Sheep Barn remains as a lasting memorial to Fairmount Park’s introduction of the South Down sheep in the late 19th Century. The Institute’s unique building and lovely property offer reflective gardens and ambling pathways that invite hope, healing, and peace. Within its pastoral setting, the Institute’s beautifully restored Sheep Barn houses the latest in technical and academic resources for researchers, health care professionals, conferees, and survivors, flexibly designed to accommodate a wide variety of research and training opportunities.

As members of a health care community committed to this important work, these panelists addressed what their respective organizations are doing to advance patient-centered care in the face of a cancer diagnosis, specifically addressing social and emotional needs. They also spoke of the many gaps that still need to be bridged, including incorporating practices like distress screening and survivorship care planning into quality cancer care. In addition to members from the CSC national and affiliate teams, the summit also drew attendance from our partners and members of the broader cancer community who shared with the group their many achievements and initiatives in advancing quality care for those living with cancer.
