Patient Education & Support

One of the best ways to deal with a cancer diagnosis is by being informed. Our educational, support and wellness programs help patients
through all phases of their cancer treatment as well as preparing them for survival.

Man to Man

Man to Man is an educational support program developed to help men make informed decisions
throughout their prostate cancer journey. The meeting is held the fourth Monday of the month and
is facilitated by Alan Margolies, a prostate cancer survivor.

Man to Man is taking a summer break.
We look forward to seeing everyone in September.

Celebration For Survival: One of the most important aspects of cancer care is the journey to survival.
We believe all cancer patients are survivors each and everyday. For this reason, we have created a unique
program that not only celebrates survival, but also prepares cancer survivors for the next phase of their life.

Celebration For Survival events are held twice each year at both our Mandarin and Nassau locations.

Our next celebrations will be in the Fall.
