Patient Support Services
Washington Cancer Institute provides a large number of support services available to our patients, family and their loved ones, as they cope with the changes associated with cancer.
Our efforts help you put control in your life, through support and education.
Educational and supportive programs offer reliable information that has been carefully researched and is thoughtfully presented by our experienced staff.
Our staff is available to answer questions, identify resources and provide guidance. In addition, numerous community-based education programsare designed to increase the likelihood of early detection, risk-reduction and screening for cancer control. Call the Cancer Care Line for more information at (202) 877-CARE (2273).
