Emotional Support
Understanding that cancer care extends beyond patients’ physical needs, we offer a number of programs designed to support cancer patients, families and caregivers.
Support Groups
Our Breast Cancer and Grief Support Groups and Powerful Tools for Caregivers classes provide information, services and support for patients, family members, caregivers and also for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one. Facilitated by the Department of Spiritual Care, these groups are open to individuals of all faiths and beliefs, and offer patients, family members and friends the opportunity to meet others, find support and share experiences. For more information, please contact the Department of Spiritual Care at 281-274-7164.
American Cancer Society Resource Center
Methodist Sugar Land Hospital serves as an American Cancer Society Resource Center to facilitate dynamic education and support programs. Patients have access to the latest information about cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
Patients also can access an array of support services offered by the American Cancer Society, such as transportation to their treatments. For more information, call 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.
“Look Good … Feel Better”
We are a proud host of “Look Good … Feel Better,” a free program offered in partnership with the American Cancer Society that teaches beauty techniques to women actively undergoing cancer treatment. This program aims to help these patients combat the appearance-related side effects of radiation, chemotherapy and surgery, and begin to recover both physically and emotionally.
