Founders (Left to Right) Eunice Jadlocki, Ann Tidey Brown, Lynn Arnold, and Nancy Dowd, through their personal and professional experiences with cancer, developed a vision that they wanted to ensure that all those affected by cancer – people with cancer and their loved ones — should have a safe place to turn for emotional and social support programs and services, at no charge.Â
On March 9, 2001, thanks to a groundswell of support from the community, their vision became a reality and our organization was incorporated as Hopes Springs. Subsequently, in March 2002, our charter as The Wellness Community of Central New Jersey became effective.
