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.
he For over 47 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.
