Bringing community members with cancer together through wellness classes, rehabilitation services, and outdoor experiences that support physical and emotional wellbeing.
Wild Country Oncology Services brings community members with cancer together through wellness classes and rehabilitation services that support physical and emotional wellbeing.
We focus on helping individuals regain physical strength, manage treatment-related side effects, and reduce the risk of lymphedema through carefully designed exercise programs — guided by a licensed occupational therapist with years of cancer rehabilitation experience.
Whether you are mid-treatment, newly post-operative, or years into survivorship, our programs are designed to support you wherever you are on any given day.
Through Reformer-based rehabilitation classes and the Strength After Breast Cancer (SABC) program, Wild Country Oncology Services helps cancer survivors build community, reconnect with their bodies, and navigate treatment-related side effects. Each program is designed to restore strength, reduce the risk of lymphedema, and meet each person where they are in their recovery.
Class details →Customized treatment programs are curated for each individual, targeting side effects associated with cancer treatment including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation:
Nature-based, tiered wellness and community experience for local adults with cancer or a history of cancer. In partnership with Jackson Hole Mountain Guides, Rendezvous River Sports, and Teton Science School — programming includes a 3-day guided trip to the summit of the Grand Teton, a multi-day backcountry kayak expedition on Jenny Lake, and a single-day educational stargazing and nature science immersion event with Teton Science School. The Wild Country Rising outdoor empowerment program is made possible through funding from the Community Foundation's Competitive Grant Program.

— Kate S.After my breast reconstruction surgery, my strength and confidence had taken a serious hit. Pilates strength training has been truly transformative for me — not just physically, but emotionally as well. With every session, I have been getting stronger from the inside out. Pilates didn't just help me recover — it gave me back a sense of ownership over my body and strength I didn't know I still had.
— L.D.These classes have been an essential part of my recovery and rebuilding process after cancer treatment. They've helped me regain strength, improve flexibility, and rebuild confidence in what my body can do. Beyond the physical benefits, the classes foster a real sense of community — I've made meaningful connections here that I truly value.

— Jane FolgemanWhile I just celebrated 5 years since surgery and radiation therapy for my breast cancer, the long-term effects are ongoing. Being able to continue with wellness Pilates is huge for helping me improve shoulder range of motion and core strength in specific and overall strength in general. Bonus — on days when I get to do wellness Pilates, my sleep quality is much improved!
