“I had a choice between Mayo Clinic, MD Anderson, and Huntsman Cancer Institute. I honestly chose Huntsman because of the Wellness Center. I wanted that support through this process [chemotherapy, mastectomy, radiation]. 

I wish every patient would use the Wellness Center—it is central to my healing and wellbeing. Each practitioner has a slightly different approach. I’m so grateful for the variability and truly believe the combination of approaches has healed me. They are such a positive and healthy part of my day. I need these experiences.“
