Living with cancer, even surviving it, comes with a heavy emotional toll.
Thankfully, that is a burden that no patient has to face alone at Valley
Health. We provide a wide variety of cancer support resources to help
patients deal with their issues and concerns with confidence and courage.
Support services are known to reduce anxiety and emotional distress, preventing
depression, and can help improve a patient’s overall quality of
life from diagnosis, throughout and after treatment. Many of our support
services can benefit caregivers as well.
