According to the Institute of Medicine’s 2007 report titled “Cancer Care for the Whole Patient”:
- Cancer care today often provides state-of-the-science biomedical treatment, but fails to address the psychological and social (psychosocial) problems associated with the illness.
- This failure can compromise the effectiveness of health care and thereby adversely affect the health of cancer patients.
- All patients with cancer and their families should expect and receive cancer care that ensures the provision of appropriate psychosocial health services.
Stillwaters plays a critical role in supporting individuals and families on their cancer journey. Throughout Southeastern Wisconsin, Stillwaters Cancer Support Services is the only source for free, professionally-led counseling and support for cancer patients, families, survivors and caregivers. Our partnerships with healthcare providers lead to the very best in patient care.
