Additional Educational Offerings

Exploring topics that matter to you

In addition to our Frankly Speaking Series, we also offer a variety of workshops on all sorts of topics that are important to you! For instance, our “Legal 101” session covers wills, trusts, healthcare directives, and how to prepare for emergencies by organizing your important documents. Plus, our “Ask the Doc” series allows you to chat with a doctor in a relaxed, non-hospital setting, giving you the opportunity to ask your questions without the daunting medical jargon.

At Gilda’s Club, we’re committed to providing the resources and referrals you need, whether it’s recipes and nutrition during cancer or accessing financial aid. We’re here for you, supporting your journey every step of the way!
