Health Resources

Hearing the words, “You have cancer,” is life-changing. But we have even more powerful words: “We’re here for you, every step of the way.” That’s more than just a statement; it’s our commitment to you.

We are by your side throughout your cancer journey, from diagnosis to treatment and beyond. We encourage you to be proactive about your treatment as soon as you are diagnosed. This includes educating yourself about your type of cancer, asking questions of your care team and seeking fellowship from one of our cancer support groups.

The Brandmeyer Patient Resource Center provides educational materials and presentations to increase your understanding of cancer treatment and care. It is located on Level 2 of the Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Care Pavilion. The resource center’s patient educator, who is an oncology-trained registered nurse, and volunteers provide information and support to you, your family and community residents. The center provides information on support groups sponsored by community organizations and features a computer station and iPads so you can research the latest cancer information online on nationally recognized cancer websites.
