Support Services
At Cancer Care Associates, we know that cancer isn’t just a disease that affects the body. The journey through cancer treatment can have a deep psychological impact as well—sometimes long after treatment is finished. With this in mind, Cancer Care Associates offers patient support services to help our patients and their families psychologically manage the cancer experience. We also keep a list of the many support groups in the community that are available to cancer patients and their families. These support groups are an excellent way to privately share thoughts, feelings, and fears in an intimate and caring environment.

Survivorship
Also at the core of our Survivorship program is a desire to promote wellness and prevention. It is our goal to provide patients with educational classes, event and support in an effort to encourage connectivity and provide a level of care outside just physical. It is our hope that our patients would find a means to connect and gain the emotional support they may need from fellow patients and CCA staff. Please see our events calendar for upcoming opportunities to connect.
