Patient Support Services

Patient Education and Training
Our clinical staff provides various resources that will help patients and their families learn what they need to know about their cancer type and treatments.  Print materials and educational presentations are made available to patients and their families. There is also a computer located in the chemotherapy suite specifically for cancer patients and their families to use to gain access to many on-line resources.

Look Good, Feel Better Group Sessions
Volunteer beauty professionals lead small groups, usually about 5 to 10 women, through practical, hands-on experience teaching cancer patients beauty tips to look good and feel better about their appearance during chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Women learn about makeup, skin care, nail care, and ways to deal with hair loss such as with wigs, turbans, and scarves. Each woman gets a free makeup kit to use during and after the workshop.
