Too often, cancer treatment is approached purely as a physical battle. What’s left unaddressed is the toll treatment takes on a patient’s life outside the hospital walls. I’m Amelia Ryerse for GBMC’s health Check.

Oncology Support Services at GBMC provide for the whole person AND their caregivers free of charge. From transportation assistance, counseling services and connecting them to community resources, GBMC is here to help.

"We have close relationships with our patients as well as each other," Karen Harrer, LCSW-C, OSW-C, Oncology Social Work Clinical Specialist at the Milton J. Dance Jr. Head and Neck Center at GBMC, said. "We work together to help patients navigate the system and get what they need during this journey."

"Watching someone you love go through cancer, is difficult, but we trust GBMC. They are taking great care of my husband and me through our journey," Roberta Rytter, wife of a patient, said.

We're more than just healthcare providers. We're your team. At GBMC, we face cancer, together.
