Support Services

Facing cancer can be challenging. Not only for you, but for your family members and friends as well. That's why The Robert and Beverly Lewis Family Cancer Care Center offers Support Services - to help everyone involved cope with the situation better. These services take a variety of forms and address a number of issues.

Patient Care Coordinator Services

The physical, emotional spiritual, and financial turmoil that often accompany a diagnosis of cancer can seem overwhelming. Working in a supportive environment conducive to fighting this disease, the patient care coordinators ensure that cancer services are provided in the most coordinated manner possible.

Not only do patient care coordinators provide a communication link between the patient and doctor, they also direct patients and their families to appropriate health care resources and agencies. Patient care coordinators provide many other services, including:

• Liaison with staff and services at the Center
• patient advocate
• emotional support
• information and education
• consultation and collaboration
• assistance with financial and insurance issues
• home health care evaluation
• nutritional counseling evaluation
• referrals for counseling
• referrals for spiritual and bereavement support.
