Patient Counseling

Counseling can help improve your mental well-being and enhance your quality of life. These sessions can help you better communicate with family and friends and create healthy dialogue around your cancer fears. Our oncology social workers are ready to help and can meet individually or in a group setting. To contact one of our oncology social workers, please call 404-778-1900.

Nurse Navigator Program

This program connects newly diagnosed patients with a Nurse Navigator (registered nurse) who serves as their point of contact throughout their journey. The Nurse Navigator is available to answer your questions, help with decision-making, coordinate care and provide emotional support. It is our goal to make sure that all of our patients receive the support and services they need.
