At DMC Sinai-Grace Hospital, we believe in treating the whole person – emotionally and physically. Support for cancer goes beyond the latest treatment options and advanced medical expertise. No matter the diagnosis or treatment, the center takes
a multidisciplinary approach to everything they do.

- Educate patients and caregivers about diagnosis and treatment options
- Acts as liaison between patient, caregivers and healthcare providers
