Havens for Healing

“Havens for Healing” is a complimentary service open to any woman diagnosed with ovarian cancer.  A team of local Redesign Specials work together to transform a room of the patient’s choice within their home into a healing environment that is balanced, harmonious and individualized to her preferences, personal style and functional needs.  The end result is a room that is a ‘haven’ for recovery.

After consulting with the patient, the Redesigners then stage the room with furniture placement, the re-hanging of art, and accessorizing with existing   possessions the patient has in her home. Again, there is no cost to the patient for this service.

Women interested in this service should contact the NH Chapter at noccnh@ovarian.org
