A THERAPY BOAT FOR THE BAY AREA
(because no one impacted by cancer should spend more time in a hospital than they have to)

Mission:
To provide custom palliative care with integrated, on-the-water therapy programs that put patients and caregivers facing cancer and terminal illness back in the driver’s seat

Positioning:
Historically, cancer care has been limited to pain management and treats only the patient, with hospice being introduced in the final stages once quality of life has diminished; little is customized, support groups infrequent and caregivers are experiencing burnout and PTSD. Studies have shown that patients who receive palliative care live longer compared to those who don’t. Furthermore, one patient may have vastly different priorities to another with the same disease, hence the need for a custom, integrated approach so that they may maximize the time they have left with the ones they love.

Tautira Foundation aims to fill these gaps by building community, providing a respite and palliative space and offering patient navigation to families who find themselves in an unfathomable, new heading. Types of programs include: psycho-oncology, support groups, integrated wellness, grief & loss therapy and end of life support.
