Best Medicine

We believe that laughter is truly one of the best medicines in life. And what better way to honor our founding mission that no one should face cancer alone, than to share the healing powers of laughter… together!

Glenn, one of our group facilitators (and former SNL writer, comedian, and Second City graduate) is now proud to host The Best Medicine group: a support space where patients, caregivers, medical providers, and survivors can hang out, socialize, and just simply laugh!
