Gilda's Club beliefs set it apart from other support groups:

  • Social and emotional support is as essential as medical care when cancer is in the family.

  • The meeting place where people with cancer and their families and friends gather for social and emotional support must be situated in a freestanding, warm and welcoming non-institutional environment.

 

  • When cancer happens, it happens to the whole family and its social network; therefore club membership must include everyone who is affected by cancer, fully and equally.

 

  • The experts in emotional and social support for cancer are those who are presently living with it.
