About Carewell

Philosophy and Approach

Carewell follows the Patient Active concept developed by Dr. Harold Benjamin, founder of TWC. According to Dr. Benjamin: “combining the will of the patient with the skill of the physician is a powerful combination.” Thus, all of Carewell’s resources and services are geared towards facilitating a positive and productive partnership between the persons with cancer, their loved ones, and their healthcare team. Participation in Carewell’s programs can help reduce the three most significant psychosocial stressors that people living with cancer face: unwanted aloneness, loss of control, and loss of hope.
