When diagnosed with cancer, a patient may face many challenges that could impact them physically, emotionally, spiritually, and possibly, financially. At Cooley Dickinson's Cancer Care Program, our staff understand the stress that a cancer diagnosis can cause. We work with every patient and their family to provide these essential services. We care for the whole patient as a unique individual. The patient's journey is our journey.
