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.

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.
