Cancer Resource Center

Questions, concerns, worries, fears, and hopes are all part of the natural process when you or a loved one is diagnosed with cancer.

Patients may find it difficult to navigate their treatment and process all the information provided during this challenging time. Marshall’s onsite Cancer Resource Center team is here to provide a wide range of support to patients receiving care with us. Our oncology nurse navigator, dietitian, social worker, and cancer resource specialists provide education and answer questions about treatment and nutrition, address financial concerns, offer psycho-social support, and connect patients and caregivers with resources for everything in between.

Call us at 530-672-7050 for information.

This type of care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms, providing physical, emotional, and spiritual help, and relieving stress. The goal is to improve the quality of life for both the patient and the family. Referrals to Supportive Care/ Palliative Care are available upon request. Please talk to your medical team to learn more.
