About

Cancer patients and their families deserve access to the best possible support available. The Cancer Society Centres in Nelson and Motueka are your first point of contact for cancer services.

The Nelson and Motueka Centres focus primarily on enhancing patient and family support systems in the Nelson and Tasman regions; improving community well-being through health promotion (e.g. SmokefreeSunSmart); providing information and resources for the local medical community and the general public and networking to improve communication links with other related organisations.
