If cancer has entered your life, you’re already a member.

Sometimes it’s hard to ask for help, especially if you don’t know what you need. We get it. Find the customized support you need in our warm, welcoming environment. 

Want to skip a phone call or website form? The Clubhouse is open five days a week and we welcome drop-in visitors. Stop for a break between medical appointments, enjoy a cup of tea, have a snack, or simply come to relax on one of our comfy couches.

Call us any time at 615-329-1124 with questions!

Let’s Get Started

What Our Members Say

  • My Gilda’s caregiver group is unshockable. Cancer caregiving brings so many feelings that are embarrassing, even shameful. Not infrequently I have wondered whether I should share some thought or action with my group. Would I not be roundly censured by group members who take the high road? Instead, there is at a minimum thoroughgoing compassion and consolation, and there are always others who have thought or said or done things just as outrageous as I perceive my own to be. Moreover, group members have concrete suggestions that give me hope for more equanimity and constructive behavior.

  • I found a community where despite all of our differences in our individual cancer journeys, we all strive to raise each other up and help each other thrive through this process.

  • “Coming to Gilda’s Club was like entering an oasis. I was in the most devastating place of my life, but I kept coming. I listened. I learned. I shared. I stayed until I could breathe again. I found [support] group a safe place to cry and decompress with people who didn’t try to fix me.”

  • You can’t imagine how good it feels to come for your orientation session at Gilda’s Club and find out that in whatever ways you choose to participate, it’s all free and its yours for the asking. “Free” is not just about money, it’s about “giving away” — the attitude with which Gilda Radner faced her difficulties. The message is: You’re not alone. We’re here for you. And your family and friends and caregivers. Welcome.
