When patients first arrive at the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center, they notice that the way we approach cancer is different. We know how this illness can uniquely affect many areas of life. So our goal is to make sure we’re addressing each patient’s individual needs. 

To reach this goal, we have a specially trained support services staff on hand to meet with patients and their families at any time. We also offer classes, meetings, and appointments focused on specific issues patients might be experiencing.

Our team is available to patients and their families from diagnosis through treatment and beyond. We have specialists in nurse navigation, cancer psychology, oncology nutrition, social work, transitional care coordination, spiritual support, music therapy, and integrative therapy.
