In a beautiful environment that facilitates calmness and tranquility, the Center offers support groups, counseling, and guidance to patients in optimizing their wellness while undergoing the challenges that cancer can bring. As part of the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Simms/Mann Center provides patients with a place of emotional and psychological healing that augments and balances their other treatment regimens. Best of all, many of the Center’s services and programs are offered free of charge thanks to Joe and other generous supporters.

Please consider bidding on one of these opportunities to meet Joe and make it possible for more cancer patients to walk through the welcoming doors of the Simms/Mann Center.
