Patient Caregivers

Without question, juggling the demands of cancer treatment without help from family or friends can be challenging. In addition to much-needed emotional support, caregivers provide transportation to and from treatment sessions and help with housework, grocery shopping and other personal affairs.

The Cancer Institute strongly believes our patients should never have to fight cancer alone – so we do all we can to support our patient caregivers. In addition to moral support, we offer caregivers access to our formal support groups. We also open our on-site exercise classes to caregivers, affording them a meaningful opportunity to release stress while waiting for patients undergoing therapy.
