Programs & Services
Comprehensive care and compassion at no cost to participants
What We Offer
At Cancer Support Center, we believe that every person impacted by cancer deserves comprehensive care and compassion—at no cost to participants. Whether you are newly diagnosed, in treatment, a survivor, a caregiver, or grieving the loss of a loved one, our programs are designed to meet your needs at any stage of the cancer journey.
Cancer changes lives in many ways—physically, emotionally, and socially. That’s why our programs focus on the whole person, not just the diagnosis. We operate on a six-point model program system that ensures holistic support for the mind, body, and spirit. Each program is evidence-based, delivered by licensed professionals and healthcare experts, and available in-person at our Homewood and Mokena locations or virtually for convenience and accessibility.
