Wheatlake Wellness Boutique

Located within The Wheatlake Center, The Wheatlake Wellness Boutique offers free assistance and services that help cancer patients to look good and feel better while dealing with their disease.

Our Cancer Support section also assists you with more helpful services.

Look Good, Feel Better Program

A volunteer licensed cosmetologist will help you with makeup, skin care and appearance through our American Cancer Society endorsed program (www.cancer.org). This is a community-based, free, national service that teaches female cancer patients beauty tips to look good and feel better about their appearance during chemotherapy and radiation treatments. The program is conducted in The Wheatlake Center and offers participants a private and supportive environment. To help patients practice what they have learned they will receive free makeup and skin care products.

All Look Good Feel Better sessions will be held on the second Monday of the month, at 4:00 p.m. alternating between the Susan P. Wheatlake Women's Cancer and Wellness Center in Big Rapids and Crossroads Radiation Therapy Center in Reed City.
