Oncology Services
The oncology social worker has resources throughout the area to help patients and their families cope with a cancer diagnosis. They assist patients and families with:
- Home health and "sitter" needs
- Nursing home and rehabilitation care
- Hospice
- Medical equipment
- Financial resources
- Insurance issues
- Disability claims
- Emotional support
The social worker also assists in coordinating all aspects of patient care with the physician's treatment plan. There is no charge for these services, and a physician referral is not needed.
