Concierge
 
Buzzing throughout the cancer center, you will see the concierge. In major hotels, the concierge is the one who helps with luggage, directions, and giving information. Likewise, the concierge at the James E. Cary Cancer Center can advise you on places to find items (such as wigs, prosthetics), provide discount coupons, transportation assistance and help to make your cancer treatment experience as pleasant as possible. The concierge also coordinates the Look Good, Feel BetterTM program and the resource library.

Chaplain Services

At the James E. Cary Cancer Center, we recognize that cancer can affect your spiritual health as well as your physical and emotional health. Regardless of what your faith is, questions can arise such as: what is my purpose here? and what did I do to deserve this?  We consider these questions regarding spiritual health.

Our chaplain corp provides non-judgmental, non-denominational spiritual support and visit the James E. Cary Cancer Center regularly. If you don't feel comfortable talking about spiritual concerns, write them down and drop them into one of our prayer bowls.

 

Dietitians

The James E. Cary Cancer Center can provide a consultation with a registered dietician to help ensure that you are getting all needed nutrients during your cancer treatment. Additionally, there is a variety of cookbooks available in the library that features recipes that have worked well for individuals with cancer.

Rehabilitation Therapists

The James E. Cary Cancer Center can provide speech, occupational and physical therapists to help in your rehabilitation needs. Women with breast cancer may benefit from physical therapy to reduce problems with lymphedema or overhead stretches.
