Beyond the Battle
The Beyond Shop
When you are undergoing cancer care, your needs may extend beyond treatment. The Beyond Shop inside the Quincy Medical Group (QMG) Cancer Institute addresses those needs by providing non-medical support items to patients at no cost. From the selections of head coverings and hairpieces to comfort products like lotions and creams, the Beyond Shop serves to encourage and support patients before, during, and after their oncology journey. The Beyond Shop is funded by the QMG Foundation’s “Beyond the Battle” Fund and generous donations from the community.
Some of the items that the Beyond Shop offers:
- Head coverings
- Hairpieces (wigs, stands & combs)
- Mastectomy support pillows
- Port pillows
- Breast prosthetics
- Supportive bras
- Blankets
- Lotion
- Greeting cards for patients, caregivers, & staff
If you are interested in visiting the Beyond Shop or setting up an appointment for a wig fitting, please contact the QMG Cancer Institute’s front desk at (217) 277‑4070, and a member of our care team will connect with you.
Beyond the Battle Boxes
In 2020, the QMG Foundation introduced a new way to help fund the Beyond Shop while also giving support and encouragement to oncology patients with the purchase of a “Beyond the Battle” gift box. The “Beyond the Battle” gift box is a customized gift that provides oncology patients with a variety of care items as well as comforting and encouraging gifts to offer support for anyone during their cancer journey.
