Supportive Care
Psychosocial, Nutrition, Symptom Management and Integrative Therapies
Compassionate, experienced social workers offer individual and family
counseling and support groups to help patients, family
members and caregivers through all stages of diagnosis and treatment. Our
licensed oncology social workers can help coordinate community resources,
develop individualized coping strategies, or simply provide emotional
support. A licensed dietitian collaborates with the medical team to review
patient nutritional status and offers counseling for patients and families
on nutritional issues. The dietitian considers family dynamics, ethnic and
cultural food preferences to support each patient's state of wellness and
provides strategies for making food nutritious and appetizing. Access to
Symptom Management specialists and integrative medicine specialists is also
available to help patients achieve the highest-possible quality of life
throughout every stage of illness and recovery and address medical,
emotional and social needs important to patients and their families.
