Oncology Social Workers Are Part Of Your Team
Clinical Oncology social workers can help cancer patients and their families overcome challenges during treatment planning, the treatment process and post-treatment.
Services include:
- Education, support and advocacy
- Referrals to resources to help with employment, insurance and financial and legal issues related to cancer treatment
- Individual short-term counseling, caregiver support, referrals to online or phone peer-support resources and national support groups, and if needed, links to mental health providers and crisis hotlines.
- Support in finding spiritual services
For more information or assistance, please call 410-820-6800 and ask to speak to one of our social workers, or call your oncologist's office and ask to speak to a social worker.
