The Hamsa Wellness Community (formerly known as Sharsheret Supports STL) is a program at the St. Louis Jewish Community Center (the J) and a community partner of the national nonprofit Sharsheret organization.
With the funding received from the STLMGAC we will continue to work towards achieving our long-term goals: (1) mitigate the number of individuals at risk for developing a hereditary cancer, especially at a late stage, from being diagnosed through education, and (2) improve long-term medical outcomes by providing impactful, non-medical and psychosocial support. We will continue to educate people, and expand the support we provide to individuals, and their families, who are facing a cancer diagnosis, at risk for developing a hereditary cancer as well as those who have completed their treatment protocols and are looking to regain a quality of life.
