You will be amazed how much you learn
from our unique, one-of-a-kind programs
that are not available anywhere else
in the universe at any price.

Our content is for anyone living with breast cancer, lung cancer, leukemia, HIV, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, or any other serious or chronic illness or condition. 

You find our programs comforting and helpful whether you are the patient, the family caregiver, family, or even friends.

Each of our experts is highly qualified in their fields: doctors in medicine; authors in their special subjects; speakers who explain their subjects LIVE in front of audiences around the world. Listen for the sound of truth ringing in your ears

For example, the principles of teamwork are normally taught by a business expert. Those principles, however, are the same whether applied in business or to a family working together for a patient.  That's how a business expert can help you!

Most recorded programs with our experts are in the form of informal conversations with our founder, Dave Balch, who was a caregiver for his wife through four bouts with breast cancer. 

In these "Dialogs with Dave" our experts talk with Dave about what they have learned in their many years of experience in their fields.
