Olivia Newton-John is lending her name to the Cancer Centre because she believes passionately in its philosophy.

Her vision is a Wellness Centre that encompasses and amalgamates all the senses: sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. It will be a calm, quiet place where patients and their carers can come and reflect, to have a massage, or to meditate and to have a place dedicated to the non-medical aspects of their treatment. The outcome is an environment that allows patients to begin to make some sense of their disease and its effect on them.

The Wellness Centre will provide patient-centred support to patients already diagnosed with cancer, as well as their families and carers. It will focus on core complementary treatments and existing support programs such as:
  • Living with Cancer
  • Look Good Feel Better
  • Personal and family support
  • Peer support groups
  • Massage
  • Exercise
  • Nutrition
  • Relaxation
  • Meditation
  • Art therapy
  • Music therapy
  • Aromatherapy
