The emotional needs of a cancer patient are as significant as the physical needs, and our Cancer Services staff is squarely focused on satisfying your needs in both areas. During treatment, a cancer patient participates in conferences with physicians and receives education and counseling from trained oncology nurses.
Social workers are also available to answer questions about coping with cancer.
They help with the stresses of cancer diagnosis, treatment rehabilitation, survival and terminal illness. To speak with one of our social workers, please call 465-4522. Pastoral Care - our Pastoral Care chaplains and Sisters are available to care for you and your family. Call 465-2571 to arrange a consultation with our Pastoral Care staff. Presented by physicians, nursing and support staff, as well as other community experts in cancer care, I Can Cope addresses treatments, side-effects, nutrition, exercise, stress management and more.
