Programs & Support

Smith Center for Healing and the Arts offers transformative healing experiences cultivated through a range of inspiring programs. We are dedicated to providing a nurturing and inclusive space for individuals seeking solace, self-discovery, and well-being.

Smith Center’s specialized programs include our innovative Integrative Oncology Navigation Training, the country’s only comprehensive training in integrative cancer care navigation. Our Artists in Residence Program trains and supervises local visual, literary, and performing artists who work directly with patients, caregivers, and clinicians to create opportunities for stress reduction, self-awareness and self-expression in outpatient infusion, radiation, and waiting areas. Smith Center’s integrative patient navigation helps patients and caregivers understand care options and helps guide decision-making. Our immersive retreats offer a respite from everyday life for those with a cancer diagnosis and provide an opportunity to be fully engaged in healing.

At the heart of our offerings are our diverse cancer support programs, designed to cater to various needs and interests. Whether you are looking for support in your cancer journey, to express yourself artistically, or to relieve stress we have a program for you. Our creativity programs use art as a catalyst for emotional growth and self-awareness. Through the power of visual arts, we encourage participants to explore their inner world and find healing in the process.

For those seeking a more active approach to healing, our movement and mindfulness programs offer a unique blend of yoga, meditation, and movement. These practices promote holistic well-being, helping individuals reconnect with their bodies, reduce stress, and cultivate inner peace.

Additionally, our support groups and healing circles provide a safe and compassionate environment for individuals facing specific health challenges or loss. These groups offer a sense of community, allowing participants to share experiences, find solace, and gain valuable insights from others who have walked a similar path.

We are proud to offer these transformative programs in collaboration with our team of experienced facilitators, who bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to each session. Smith Center is committed to accessibility, ensuring that our programs are available to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.
