A Time To Heal Cancer Foundation

What A Time To Heal Cancer Foundation does

A Time To Heal Cancer Foundation (ATTH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2005 and headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, that delivers free, evidence-based survivorship programs to adult cancer survivors and their caregivers. Its flagship is Survivorship 101, a nine-week, 90-minute-per-week whole-person rehabilitation program covering side-effect management, nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, and intimacy; this curriculum is backed by an IRB-approved longitudinal study covering ten years and nearly 1,000 participants. Complementary offerings include the six-week Navigating Brain Fog Class (the only licensed, research-based brain fog program of its kind in Nebraska, also serving COVID survivors), the Under 45 Survivorship 101 variant for younger adults, free online Caregiver Support Groups, a monthly Create Your Best Life webinar series, an annual Art of Living Beyond Cancer Conference, and a Facilitator Training Program that licenses clinicians to deliver the curriculum in their own communities. All programs are free to participants and the organization is 100% donor-funded, with no Medicare, Medicaid, or federal funding.

The business model is donation-driven rather than transactional: revenue flows from individual donors (online, recurring, memorial/honor, and planned/legacy gifts), corporate sponsors, and private foundations, with healthcare systems such as Nebraska Medicine, Methodist Health, CHI Health, Nebraska Cancer Specialists, and Madonna Rehabilitation serving as conference sponsors, board representatives, and patient referral channels. Programs are delivered via a hybrid model combining Zoom-based virtual classes (reaching 42 states and five countries), in-person sessions at 20+ Nebraska locations plus the permanent Omaha headquarters, and asynchronous YouTube-hosted webinar content. Under Executive Director Brenda Helget, who took the role in 2021, the organization grew from serving 67 survivors in 2019 to nearly 1,000 annually while keeping paid headcount at four core staff, leveraging contracted facilitators and partner sites for capacity. A board of directors drawn from local healthcare, banking, and corporate institutions provides governance oversight.
