Gilda's Club Minnesota

About Gilda's Club Minnesota

Free social and emotional support for everyone currently impacted by cancer 

No one should face cancer alone. These simple words sum up the Gilda’s Club philosophy. We provide the emotional and social support that is proven to improve overall health outcomes. Our clubhouse is a healing environment where individuals learn from one another, while receiving guidance from licensed mental health professionals.

Gilda’s Club Minnesota is a welcoming community, a place to go for free support for everyone facing any type of cancer – men, women, teens and children — along with their families, friends and caregivers. As an affiliate of the worldwide Cancer Support Community, our program comes with more than 30 years of expertise behind it, a one-of-a-kind, evidence-based program of social and emotional support.

The Gilda’s Club philosophy is built upon three core principles:

1. Our program is free to everyone, all the time.
2. Our community is warm and welcoming.
3. At Gilda's Club, people learn to live fully with cancer, whatever the outcome.
