A cancer diagnosis affects the entire family. We understand that patients and their families need a level of care that goes beyond treating the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Norton Cancer Institute offers educational, physical and emotional support services, as well as a variety of events<\/a> and clinical trials<\/a>, to you and your family. We provide information, comfort and hope to help ease stress and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With five area locations, Norton Cancer Institute Resource Centers<\/a> provide patients and families with the latest information on cancer treatments and support services. Patients and families receive personal attention to address the physical, emotional and spiritual needs before, during and after cancer treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information or to find a Norton Cancer Institute Resource Center<\/a> near you, call (502) 629-HOPE<\/strong> (4673)<\/a> or email us at cancerresourcex@nortonhealthcare.org<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Patient navigators offer support and education for patients with any type of cancer. The Norton Cancer Institute Patient Navigator Program<\/a> is staffed by oncology-certified nurses who are available to help ease stress and offer emotional support for the entire family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Patients, their caregivers and their family members have access to a navigator as often as needed from the point of a suspicious finding through diagnosis, treatment and survivorship. For more information or to contact a patient navigator, call (502) 629-HOPE<\/strong> (4673)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Topics in our events include meditation, nutrition and financial considerations.

We are with you from diagnosis and treatment through survivorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Education, consultation and personalized counseling for female cancer patients and their partners can help with changes in sexual health during and after cancer treatment.
