Resources For Your Patient
For patients and their family members, a cancer diagnosis means
having to understand a lot of information about disease types, treatments
and side effects. Complicated medical terms can be confusing and
terrifying when you're facing a serious disease. In keeping with
our mission of education, the Mint
Jubilee Resource Center collaborates with clinical staff to
provide cancer patients and caregivers with accurate, reliable information
to help them make intelligent decisions about cancer care. The Center
also has the region’s only image lab, featuring cosmetics,
wigs and skin care products. The lab provides assistance with prosthetics
and make-up.
For some patients, the psychological effects of cancer can be overwhelming.
Through our Behavorial Oncology program,
Brown Cancer Center has specially trained counselors who can help
patients deal with the stress, anxiety and depression that can accompany
a diagnosis of cancer and its treatment.
In addition, the
Kentucky Cancer Program (KCP), located within Brown Cancer Center
offers public and patient education programs that are designed to
meet the needs of many different audiences, with a wide variety
of print materials, videos, online databases and special events,
including cancer screenings. KCP also connects patients and their
families with family and group counseling support groups.
