A Worthy CAuse
The Cancer Resource Centre at 926 Ridge Road helps
patients and their families affected by cancer get the
support, education and encouragement they need
to cope and heal emotionally and spiritually. All
programs at the Centre are free and include a widevariety of support groups, mind-body classes and
lectures, and also a resource room filled with books
and videos and providing Internet access.
The Centre is a program of the Community Cancer
Research Foundation. The foundation works to
reduce cancer morbidity and mortality in the region
by supporting and advancing cancer detection, diagnosis, treatment, education and prevention efforts of
the hospitals of Community Healthcare System.
“Donations to the Cancer Resource Centre such as
the generous check from the Chang family, enable
patients and their family members to experience the
comforting, peaceful environment that the Centre
can provide on their road to recovery,” says Director
Anthony Andello. “Our Healing Garden project is
blossoming, for example, because of support from the
community. It’s a place where patients can tap into
all their senses and experience the healing qualities
of nature.”
Chang family members who appeared on the Family Feud game show include (left to

Steve Harvey, Liz Joo, JB Joo, M.D., and David Chang, M.D.
Since opening its doors, the Centre has been able
to touch the lives of nearly 30,000 patients and
families, offering a nonmedical setting where they
come to celebrate life, deal with hardships and find
answers to their questions, Andello says.

un, games, prizes and 15 minutes of fame
are what most families take away from the
nationally syndicated game show Family
Feud. But gastroenterologist Gene Chang,
M.D., and his wife, Eileen, used their winnings as
an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of
others and raise awareness about cancer care in
the community.
“I grew up in this area … it’s my hometown,” Chang
says. “I want to do anything I can do to help support
our community and my patients, many of them with
cancer. The Cancer Resource Centre is an amazing
place and the programs and services are all free.
I played for fun, but am glad to be able to help and
raise awareness of a serious issue.”
The Changs donated $10,000 of the family’s cash
prize to the Cancer Resource Centre in Munster.
