Living with a serious disease is difficult. Cancer patients and those who care about them face many problems and challenges. Coping with these problems is often easier when people have helpful information and support services. Ridgeview offers cancer education and support groups (see list below), and Ridgeview’s Health Information Library provides information and Internet access. Ridgeview’s Social Services Department can suggest other resources that help with rehabilitation, emotional support, financial aid, transportation or home care. Services include:
