“Supportive care makes excellent cancer care possible … [it] is the prevention and management of the adverse effects of cancer and its treatment. This includes management of physical and psychological symptoms and side effects across the continuum of the cancer journey from diagnosis through treatment to post-treatment care.”

– Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer

Patients and caretakers work to survive a serious, life-threatening disease … a multifaceted battle managing physical and psychological symptoms and side effects across the continuum of the cancer journey from diagnosis through treatment to post-treatment care.

Clinicians mitigate the moral distress that comes with the responsibility of meeting the needs of new and existing cancer patients and their support networks.

Modern oncology practice clearly calls for a new and better paradigm - a design for care that treats the person and not just the disease. Supportive care is that new paradigm.

It provides open access to resources that allow patients to live better and improve their quality of life while battling the disease...… to thrive with cancer, not just survive.

Who doesn’t want the best outcomes for cancer journeys?

The founding of this supportive care clinic is an evolution of the Hope Fund, designed to make an exponentially greater impact in the lives of those affected by cancer. 

From emotional and psychological support to assistance with navigating the complexities of care, the clinic will be a beacon of hope and resilience.

This community has long supported the advancement of cancer care locally. That support has given hope to countless people during life’s most difficult times. Your generosity today will build on the community’s remarkable legacy of compassionate care, help us provide the best treatment available today and the best quality of life for our friends and neighbors fighting cancer battles.

Even the best medical care can’t meet every need a cancer patient faces. Supportive care—like emotional counseling, symptom relief, survivorship planning, and financial navigation—often falls outside the scope of traditional coverage. That’s where philanthropy becomes essential.
