We are glad you found us!
When you or someone you love have been touched by cancer, it can be an emotional, challenging and confusing time—but we are here to help.
The Simonton Cancer Center helps provide information, resources and retreats for cancer patients, based in the field of psychoneuroimmunology and the science of mind-body medicine.
For over 48 years, the Simonton Cancer Center has been a leader in the scientifically proven mind-body approach for treating cancer patients. The Center's integrated program was the first of its kind in the world, and was pioneered by the physician most often considered the "father of mind-body medicine" for cancer-
​radiation oncologist, O. Carl Simonton, MD.

Based in the field of Psychoneuroimmunology, the Simonton method focuses on interactions between the mind and the body—how beliefs, attitudes, lifestyle choices, spiritual and psychological perspectives impact our physiology and immune function, and how they can dramatically affect health, the course of disease, and our overall well-being.

At the heart of the Center’s mission is the world renown "Getting Well Again" Program, a five-day retreat based on Dr. Simonton's successful model for emotional and stress intervention, patient education, and support.

Dr. Simonton strongly believed the tools and techniques taught at SCC retreats are critical components of a comprehensive cancer treatment plan - the 'missing link' in cancer care.

2019 Patient and
Training Retreats

  You are our number one priority.

Groups are small and intimate 
to ensure you have a personalized experience. 

​Individual counseling is also included in your week

​
Our Patient Programs also offer a  limited number of spaces for
health care professionals in training, although not all certification levels are offered each session.

Our SCC Patient Programs and Training for Health Care Professionals will take place in various locations through-out the Los Angeles area.

Our May Program will take place at the lovely Brandeis-Bardin Campus in Simi Valley, CA, an hour from the Los Angeles International Airport.

Due to the nature of the work, sessions are small and private to insure highly personal attention. Space is limited.
We apologize if you are unable to join the session you requested.

*Due to the recent fires in which we lost our SCC offices and the past winter mudslides that damaged La Casa de Maria and much of Santa Barbara, we are holding retreats in various locations for 2019 and 2020.  We hope to return to Santa Barbara when complete in 2021!*
