Support Services

Breast Health Navigator

Breast Cancer treatment can involve many oncology providers and multiple diagnostic and treatment options which can sometimes be daunting. Our Breast Health Navigator coordinates these treatments and evaluations, explains the variety of options and is a source of support for patients receiving breast cancer treatment. Specialized classes in breast cancer chemotherapy compliment our breast program. Active involvement in our support programs such as lymphedema counseling & management and a host of other services described below help patients achieve a full & sustained recovery.

Counseling

A Social Worker is available for short-term, cancer-related, individual and family counseling. Referrals are also available for community counseling services.

Education Resources and Classes

We offer patient education classes so that you and your family are well informed about your chemotherapy regimen. Our focus is to help prevent and minimize potential side effects even before beginning any new treatment.

Financial Counseling

We understand that the financial aspect of your diagnosis can be very stressful. Our financial counselors are here to help answer questions about the cost of treatment and, on your behalf, handle insurance inquiries, verifications and claims processing. In addition, our financial counselors can help identify assistance programs that you may qualify for, in the event your insurance does not cover certain aspects of your treatment.
