Taking care of your mental and emotional well-being, and the well-being of your loved ones is an important part of your care journey. We offer a wide range of support services including classes, support groups, and other services for patients with breast cancer and family caregivers. The Typical Patient Journey provides a tool to help you navigate the treatment process.

Patient and Family Support Services

Patient and Family Support Services can help you in a variety of ways including connecting you with classes and individual or group support.

Exercise and Breast Cancer

Exercise enhances recovery from surgery, decreases side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, and helps to reduce risk of osteoporosis. We offer multiple exercise and nutrition programs, depending on your location. Some of the options are Lebed Method and Karate exercise classes, supermarket nutritional tours and cooking demonstrations. Our Patient and Family Support Services can help you to find what is available near you.
