The Friends of Gilda's Society Nova Scotia Details
The Friends of Gilda's Society Nova Scotia is committed to developing a venue to provide a free professional program which ensures that all people affected by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action and sustained by community.\\History:\\The Friends of Gilda's Society is a group of volunteers located in HRM who are dedicated to bringing Gilda's Club and The Cancer Support Community to Nova Scotia. Gilda's Club is a non-clinical, psychosocial and emotional support program affiliated with the Cancer Support Community (an international leader in psychosocial oncology research and program development), named for comedian Gilda Radner. Gilda Radner, most famous for her work as an original cast member of NBC's Saturday Night Live, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1986. Gilda passed away in 1989, but her contribution to those affected by cancer did not. In her memory, Gilda's Club Worldwide was established in New York City, which has helped communities all across North America benefit from psychosocial and emotional support. In 2009 Gilda's Club Worldwide partnered with The Wellness Community, which combined the knowledge, resources, and expertise of two organizations dedicated to psychosocial oncology into one: The Cancer Support Community.\\Our vision is to align with the other Canadian CSC affiliated Gilda's Clubs, while meeting the unique needs of Nova Scotians experiencing cancer.
