Cancer Support Services:

Through the process of receiving a diagnosis and meeting with the Oncologist to develop a treatment plan, a person becomes a cancer survivor.  There are many areas of emotional and psychological distress that may impact a person and the family’s quality of life.  Through individual counseling, support groups, education about the illness, community resource education and other forms of support, our team devotes the resources and energy to meeting your emotional needs and addressing your individual concerns.
