WHO WE ARE

MEET OUR TEAM

     New Beginning is home to an extraordinary group of people composed of health professionals and distinguished individuals that comprise our advisory board and volunteer roster. Our health professionals include oncologists, surgeons, dietitians, psychiatrists and psychologists, athletic trainers, medical residents and students, and much more. Our team also consists of cancer survivors, activists, and inspirational figures. All of these individuals joined our team voluntarily to help and support cancer patients with the relevant knowledge, and most updated information regarding the illness and treatment methods to help cancer patients overcome their disease. The interdisciplinary nature of our team member’s backgrounds and experiences, in addition to their unrelenting dedication to the cause, primes New Beginning to deliver the quality support we strive for, pioneer the societal change we hope to accomplish, and usher a new era of cancer support in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

New Beginning is the first holistic cancer support organization in the Kingdom that serves all types of cancer. We were given our name by cancer patients, in hopes that it would lead those affected with cancer to a new beginning. From physical to nutritional to psychological to intellectual, we strive to do just that by providing our members with the highest quality support essential in guiding them to the new beginning they desire. We are a multifaceted nonprofit organization targeting not only cancer patients, but cancer survivors, their families, and the community as a whole. We aim to build a state-of-the-art cancer support facility where our members could engage in fun activities, meet new people, get council from the best medical professionals, seek emotional support, craft a healthy diet, and much more.
Coupled with our high caliber team, our center will provide a perfect space where our members could spend their time in a safe, friendly environment.
