Small Stones Wellness Center

You may experience changes in the way you look and feel as a result of cancer or its treatment. These changes — hair loss, skin changes and other effects of cancer or treatment — can affect your self-image and the way you cope with your illness.

To help men and women living with cancer, the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Clinical Cancer Center has created a very special place — the Small Stones Wellness Center.

The Wellness Center supports the healing process by helping patients enhance their appearance, promote relaxation and boost their self-esteem. Our skilled and compassionate staff members are devoted to helping you look your best, with personal, one-on-one service to meet your special needs.

 
Everyone is Welcome!
While wellness services may be part of your treatment plan, any patient may use the services of the Small Stones Wellness Center. You do not need to be a patient of the Clinical Cancer Center.

We also welcome family members, visitors, staff and the public.


Products and Services Integrated with Treatment

The Wellness Center is unique in that all products and services are integrated with your medical care at the Clinical Cancer Center. Our professional staff understands medical issues surrounding cancer care and the need for extra precautions. All products and services are designed especially for your comfort and well-being. You can feel confident that the services you receive are consistent with our high standards of care.
