Solaris Cancer Care Great Southern has found a new home and will open its doors to those impacted by cancer in early July 2021 after months of searching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are very much looking forward to welcoming back all our cancer patients, carers, families and supporters who haven\u2019t been able to connect with us since 2020,\u201d Solaris Cancer Care CEO Francis Lynch said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere will be a gradual roll out of our evidence-based complementary therapies as we establish ourselves in our new home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solaris Cancer Care Great Southern will now be located at 91-93 Earl Street Albany and will open initially for two days \u2013 Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8.30am – 4.30pm. Both former cancer clients and new cancer clients, their families, carers and cancer survivors are welcome to access services as soon as the centre is opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Early bookings are recommended as patients are already being waitlisted for commencement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have been overwhelmed with the public support shown over the past year and am full of gratitude for the offers of help we received,\u201d Solaris Great Southern Manager Gillian Robertson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The centre is actively seeking qualified complementary Therapists in multiple modalities and Meet & Greet volunteers who can commit three to four hours on a weekly or fortnightly basis. Volunteers will receive guidance and mentorship throughout their commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe currently have therapies like massage available, but we would like to have volunteers, from yoga to pilates, reiki, healing touch and more who can help us expand our level of services in the region,\u201d Ms. Robertson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter a year of not having a home, many impacted by cancer cannot wait to be back and we want to be in a position to provide our services to everyone who walks in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
