Bailey’s Clubhouses offer free childcare for parents undergoing cancer treatment, giving them peace of mind while they attend medical appointments. The no-cost childcare centers are made possible through innovative partnerships between medical providers and Bailey’s Clubhouse and the generous support of businesses and individuals in our community. We are proud to provide childcare in order to directly address this documented gap in services and barrier to care for cancer patients.
The task of locating and paying for childcare, on top of a sick parent in the home, results in extreme stress for families facing a cancer diagnosis and treatment. Bailey’s Clubhouse evolved out of our founder’s personal experiences while taking his wife to her cancer treatment appointments. With a strong personal support system, he had a long list of family and friends available to watch their children during his wife’s appointments and treatments. However, he quickly observed that many cancer patients did not have this same level of support and patients often struggled to find childcare during treatments.
Thank you for your generosity in helping to bridge this gap.
