Testimonials

"I am a cancer survivor and chief caregiver to my wife Marilyn who is in the ovarian support group at Beth Wright Cancer Center. Being connected lies at the heart of living, especially when illness or loss threatened as they did in our lives. I will always be grateful for the connections that I found at the Beth Wright Center. The Beth Wright Center is a hidden gem, homegrown and serving Washington and Hancock counties."
