Wig Bank Program

The Wig Bank, maintained by the Department of Social Work, allows patients to borrow wigs free of charge to wear during cancer treatment.

When referred to the Wig Bank, patients meet with a Wig Bank volunteer for an individual consultation. Consultations can be coordinated with either inpatient or outpatient schedules. Volunteers assist patients in selecting a wig to wear -- free of charge -- throughout treatment. They also provide instructions on cleaning and caring for the wig, and can supply additional information on sources for purchasing a wig.

For more information about obtaining a wig through the Wig Bank, or where to purchase a wig, call the Guest Assistance Program at 800-888-9825.
