The Peitz Cancer Support House provides a comprehensive support services
program from first diagnosis throughout treatment and beyond in a home-like
environment for cancer patients and their families. This is the area’s
first line of support for cancer patients, and their families and friends.
We are here to encourage you, from diagnosis through treatment.
The Peitz Cancer Support House is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m. A staff member or volunteer will be available weekdays during
regular business hours to answer questions about events and activities.
We are located across the parking lot from the Cline Emergency Center entrance
of Baxter Health. For more information about the Peitz Cancer Support
