Community Cancer Resource Center
Catawba Valley Medical Center’s Community Cancer Resource Center,
with its primary location on the lower level of the new pavilion, provides
a respite and a source of information for patients, families and friends
of those with cancer. The Community Cancer Resource Center is stocked
with brochures, and magazines on various cancer related topics. Patients
and visitors may relax and review printed materials or search for information
on the Internet. The Resource Center is open weekdays from 8:30am to 5pm.
These staffs provide assistance in locating area support groups and programs
for cancer patients. A database of cancer resources, including sources
for mastectomy supplies, ostomy supplies, wigs and other medical equipment,
is available for visitors in our My Journey Begins Here notebooks. Information
about community programs and services to assist the cancer patient with
paying for treatment, obtaining supplies and transportation are also in
the notebook.
