Gilda Radner’s dream was to create a free cancer support community for people with cancer, their families and friends. Today, that dream is fulfilled at Gilda's Club Metro Detroit, a three-story non-residential house in Royal Oak. Since opening our signature red door in January 1998, Gilda’s Club Metro Detroit has welcomed over 5100 members for social and emotional support and a whole lot of FUN.
The clubhouse is a place where people with cancer and their family and friends can come to find social and emotional support in a home-like, community atmosphere with others who are living with cancer. It is a special place for men, women, children, families and friends with every type of cancer to share their collective wisdom in the Gilda’s Club community.

The welcome to Gilda's Club Metro Detroit begins with a New Member Meeting for people with cancer, and their families and friends. Here people tell their stories or just listen as others share and learn about the various resources and activities available to all members of the Club. Following the New Member Meeting, each prospective member schedules an individual meeting to design a confidential Customized Membership Plan to shape his or her plan for social and emotional support. Members come together for the Gilda's Club Metro Detroit program called Basic III 'Plus'.
If you are interested in attending a New Member Meeting, please call us at (248) 577-0800 to speak with a Program staff person or you may click the links below to see more details about some of our programs.
