Cancer Support and Resources

Your cancer care team can help connect you with services and resources based on your needs. Support may include help with insurance and financial concerns, transportation, home care, emotional well-being and life after treatment.

• Social Work and Practical Support – Licensed clinical social workers can help you navigate practical concerns related to your care, including health insurance, disability claims, FMLA, Social Security and transportation resources.
• Financial Assistance – If you're concerned about the cost of care, financial assistance may be available. Broward Health offers financial assistance programs for eligible patients. Learn more about our Financial Assistance Program.
• Home Care and Support – If you need additional care after leaving the hospital, your care team can help connect you with appropriate resources, which may include home health services, medical equipment or hospice care.
• Nutrition Support – Good nutrition can help you maintain strength and manage side effects during cancer treatment. Oncology dietitians can provide nutrition guidance based on your treatment, symptoms and individual needs.
• Emotional and Mental Health Support – Cancer can affect your emotional well-being during treatment and after it ends. Your care team can connect you with support resources and mental health providers at Broward Health or in the community.
• Appearance Support – Cancer treatment can cause changes to your hair and appearance. Eligible patients may have access to resources for wigs or head coverings through the American Cancer Society.
• Survivorship Support – Support doesn't necessarily end when treatment does. Your care team can help connect you with resources for your physical and emotional needs as you adjust to life after cancer treatment.
