Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal as an organization is to provide free emotional support, cancer education, and healthy lifestyle activities for anyone in Wisconsin that is impacted by a cancer diagnosis. Programs are provided both in-person and online.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Activities identified for the Strategic Plan include:
Improve baseline by 1/3 of the difference between baseline and 85% via follow-up with non-attenders
Add CQI standard practices to orientation materials
Review CSS – 30% will Retake
Annual pull of data from Gnosis – determine additional engagement from prior year
Add appropriate questions to program, 30 day and annual survey
Develop Plan to fund Effective Staffing
Change messaging to improve member check-in accuracy
Track unique visits
Quantify per-hour value of volunteer time donated. Report out to volunteers, donors, and members
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Gilda's Club Madison has been providing cancer support programming to Madison and the surrounding communities since 2008. The services we provide are unique and valuable:
• We support the whole family
• All ages are welcome
• Any cancer diagnosis at any stage is welcome
• Caregivers are supported
• We promote a philosophy of empowerment and “getting by giving"
• We have as amazing facility that provides a welcoming setting
• Programs are offered at no charge
• Cancer Support Community affiliation lends us strength through tools and online support
• We have hundreds of outstanding volunteers who are compassionate and driven to share their skills in support of our mission
• Our board and staff have proven to be dedicated and passionate
• We offer the missing piece in cancer care which helps reduce overall cancer care costs, results in fewer hospitalizations, improves the likelihood that patients will follow their medical regimen, and ultimately results in improved length of survival in many cases.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
In 2021 we began the shift from 100% virtual back to in-person cancer support. Because we serve a population of people who may be immunocompromised, this has been a challenging circumstance.
