Cancer Resource Center

Questions, concerns, worries, fears and hopes are all part of the process for a patient diagnosed with cancer. Cancer patients and their families often find it difficult to navigate and process the information needed to sort through the array of available therapeutic options and decide what is right for them. In addition to education, outreach, social services as well as printed resources, Marshall’s Cancer Resource Center provides a vast array of classes, support groups and services. Most services below are available to anyone impacted by cancer in El Dorado County, regardless of Marshall patient status.
