The Partnership for Gynecological Cancer Support
Our mission is to help raise awareness and reduce the financial toxicity of a cancer diagnosis by providing assistance for daily non-insured expenses for women currently being treated for any gynecological cancer in northeast Georgia.
Hearing “you have cancer” is bad enough, but imagine wondering how you are going to continue to working to pay the bills, put food on the table, and even get to work! Cancer does not care, but we do and we are here to help.
Please take a moment to look over our website to learn how you can make a difference in the lives of women and their families who are undergoing treatment. We hope that you will want to join in our effort and remember, your donation is 100% tax deductible.
PGCS Pretty Place
PGCS Pretty Place is a dedicated room within NGPG Gynecologic Oncology’s practice in Gainesville, GA. Here, the Partnership for Gynecological Cancer Support (PGCS) will continue its mission to help women undergoing treatment for a gynecological cancer by providing wigs, hats, and scarves to underserved patients at no cost to them.
PGCS donors have furnished the room in soft shades of teal, in French Country style. Women can visit the Pretty Place on their own or with a family member or- friend on a day they are already receiving treatment. Nursing staff in the chemotherapy suite identify patients and invite them to PGCS Pretty Place.
Northeast Georgia Medical Center is partnering with PGCS to ensure an adequate supply of wigs. PGCS also accepts donations of gently used wigs. Georgia l11stitute of Cosmetology will provide classes on wig and hair styling, as well as make-up, regularly.
PGCS Pretty Place will celebrate with a grand opening on Thursday, March 30th, 2023.
Opening the Pretty Place in the organization’s 10th year of operation has special meaning for PGCS founder and CEO, Sue Sigmon-Nosach. ”When I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2004, I felt ugly, broken and alone. I hope the Pretty Place will give inspiration to all women who have been diagnosed with a gynecological cancer.”
Make a difference. Ease the burden.
