Why choose Geisinger for cancer support?

  • Dedicated support: Many of our programs, including our breast cancer program, have a dedicated nurse navigator. Our navigators work with you before your first appointment to make sure we have all the necessary information for a good visit. Navigators also answer questions and coordinate the next steps in your care. If you need to see other specialists, such as genetic counselors, we help you make appointments.

  • From Cancer to Health™ program: Whether you are experiencing fear about your future or stress from missing work, this program helps you find ways to keep negative feelings at bay. We also help you adopt good habits, such as eating a healthy diet, which may help you feel better before and after cancer treatment.
  • Survivorship clinics: We are one of the few programs in the region offering survivorship clinics. These clinics deliver specialized care so you can feel more like your old self again. We help you overcome challenges such as pain from the side effects of treatment or anxiety about cancer coming back.
