Our Story
The Integrative Wellness Fund (IWF) was started in 2013 by Nicole Nada. Nicole had been diagnosed with breast cancer and wanted to help other local people receive integrative care to support their journey with cancer. This is not a program of the Breast and GYN Health Project, it is administered by a Trustee of the Integrative Wellness Fund, with support from BGHP.
Nicole believed in using many healing modalities to support her health and her journey with cancer. She received traditional treatments such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, and was always looking to enhance her livelihood with additional treatments.
