Wellness House in the News

As a radiation oncologist at Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, Arpi Thukral often struggled to help her cancer patients find psycho-social support, exercise programs and nutrition resources.

“That’s when I first had found out about Wellness House,” she said.

Thukral is serving as co-chair of this year’s Walk for Wellness House on Sunday, May 5. Touring the Hinsdale facility, coordinating the annual fundraising ball and joining the board of directors deepened her connection with the organization over the years. She also participated in her first walk the year after she lost her uncle to leukemia.

Co-Chairs of The Walk for Wellness House/Board Members, Mahrukh Hussain and Dr. Arpi Thukral, and Participant Roxy Sullivan talk with Tracy Butler/ABC7Chicago about the upcoming Walk!
