Enrichment Offerings
Living Journeys offers enrichment opportunities to support clients throughout their healing process. These activities are designed to reduce stress and promote emotional and physical well-being. Options include exercise classes, acupuncture, massage, nutrition education, and more.
Transportation
Living Journeys recognizes that due to our rural location and proximity to specialized forms of cancer treatments, Gunnison County residents may experience difficulty in traveling to and from their cancer treatments. We offer multiple types of assistance: volunteer drivers, gas reimbursement, loaner vehicles (through Gunnison Tough), lodging assistance, and other travel resources.
Cancer Screening Access
Living Journeys, in partnership with Gunnison Valley Health Foundation and Gunnison Tough, has launched the Cancer Screening Access Fund. A groundbreaking initiative designed to improve access to lifesaving cancer screenings for individuals in the Gunnison County. This fund will support prostate, colon, lung and uterine cancer screenings, offering up to $2,000 per applicant to ease financial barriers for underinsured and uninsured community members.
Youth Groups
The Living Journeys Youth Groups bring together Gunnison County youth who’ve been impacted by cancer with their peers and licensed therapists.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of Gunnison County residents battling cancer and the network that support them.
Erinn's Courageous Battle
At Living Journeys, we often say cancer affects the whole family. In Erinn’s case, this hits close to home. Erinn’s husband, Luke, was diagnosed with colon cancer in early 2021 and sadly passed away in late 2022. Two years after Luke’s passing, Erinn received devastating news.
Living Journeys Became a Lifeline for Eric
Cancer isn't just a word; it's a journey into darkness and fear, overwhelming both physically and mentally. When I received my Stage 3b Colorectal cancer diagnosis in January 2021, I had no idea what lay ahead.
