Cancer Support Services

Research shows that restful sleep, a healthy diet and physical activity can have a positive effect on your immune system. Our cancer support services address these aspects of day-to-day life to help you feel better — physically and mentally — during treatment.

Our complementary medicine program includes safe, effective practices that address fatigue, anxiety and other side effects of cancer treatment. We offer massage therapy and art therapy.

Cancer treatment can be costly. If you meet eligibility guidelines, our team can help guide you through the financial challenges of cancer treatment. We’ll help you enroll in benefits and can assist with rent or mortgage payments, transportation, utility bills and prescription costs. And our reimbursement analysts lessen the stress of dealing with your insurance company. They’ll get treatment authorizations, resolve billing questions and more on your behalf.

Our oncology social workers are experienced in working with people undergoing cancer treatment. They’re compassionate listeners, here to help you and your loved ones with relationship stress, anxiety, depression, grief and other emotions.

Sharing your questions and concerns with others who are receiving cancer treatment or recovering can be a real lifeline. Social workers can refer to known resources in the community. Also, many of our Friends of the Cancer Center volunteers are survivors themselves and serve as excellent resources.
