Cancer Patient Support: So No One Faces Cancer Alone
Our Supportive Care Program, in collaboration with the Cancer Support Community, offers patients and their loved ones an expansive scope of psychosocial services, for all diagnoses, across the cancer continuum. Our experienced, licensed oncology-trained clinical social workers are committed to ensuring that our patients and their loved ones have access to the psychological, social, practical, and spiritual support and resources they need. Services are provided in person, over the phone, or in a group setting.
In a given year, the social work team provides 19,000 patient visits ranging from emotional support, crisis intervention, and advance care planning, to procuring basic safety needs.
How We Can Help
Our experienced, licensed oncology-trained clinical social workers are committed to ensuring that our patients have access to the psychological, social, practical, and spiritual support and resources they need. Services are provided in person, over the phone, or in a group setting, and do not require a referral from a physician or medical team. Clinical social workers are particularly helpful during significant transitions such as: new diagnosis, change in treatment, post-treatment survivorship, or end-of-life care.
