Community
Connection matters. That’s why we offer both in-person and virtual opportunities to spend time with others who understand your journey. From our monthly Coffee & Conversations gatherings to family outings and special events, we create spaces where children, young adults, and families can relax, share, and simply enjoy time together.
Self-Care
Caring for yourself is just as important as caring for the health of a loved one. Our “whole-person health” programs make it easier to keep well-being in focus, even during challenging times. Join us for:
​
-
Positivity, mindfulness, and relaxation sessions
-
Yoga classes for all ages and abilities
-
Nutrition lessons with a registered dietitian and licensed nutritionist
Can’t make it live? Many of our classes are recorded and available on our YouTube channel, so you can take part whenever it works best for you.
Emotional Support
Cancer treatment can bring extra stress and strain—for patients and families alike. Through our partnerships with health networks, we’re here to ease some of those burdens, whether it’s a warm meal during treatment or a safe space to share what’s on your mind. No matter where you are in the journey, you’ll find care, comfort, and encouragement with Lending Hearts.
Always free of cost
You are dealing with a lot right now. So there is never a cost for our services or classes. Insurance is not required.
For our pediatric friends
Children living with cancer have their own needs and challenges: mental, social, emotional and physical. Lending Hearts provides pediatric integrative wellness care within the oncology unit at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. In addition, we welcome children who are in treatment or in remission to participate in virtual yoga, mindfulness and relaxation and nutrition programs.
