Antelope Valley Hospital offers a wig bank on the hospital campus to support
women undergoing cancer treatment and/or experiencing hair loss. Hair
loss is a common and visible side effect of chemotherapy. Through this
program, cancer patients can receive one free, high-quality wig in a safe,
comforting environment.
Trained wig bank volunteers provide one-on-one consultations to help find
a wig that fits each patient’s lifestyle. They also offer insight
into using and caring for wigs and suggestions for how to utilize turbans
and scarves as an alternative to a wig.
