Cancer Support Groups

A diagnosis of cancer can be stressful to you and your family. Smilow Cancer Hospital has Licensed Clinical Social Workers available to help you to manage your feelings and concerns throughout your cancer care, especially during this challenging time. In addition, our social workers also facilitate many support groups available virtually for your participation. Support groups provide the opportunity to receive emotional and educational support and to talk with others who are undergoing similar treatment or who have successfully completed treatment.
