Harrison’s social workers

We know that cancer brings up different types of concerns, not only physical ones. Harrison social workers, several with master’s degrees, have many years of experience in cancer care. They help you and your family manage multiple aspects of your diagnosis:

Finances Emotions Problem solving Where to get help How to cope

Pain management Grief and loss Family reactions Cancer education

Maybe you and your doctor decide that skilled care, such as nursing or physical therapy, is what you need. Our social workers can assist you with the process. Social workers are also available through Harrison Home Health.

Financial counseling services

Sometimes your finances don’t match your needs during cancer. We understand how this can affect your family. Our social workers can help you apply for financial assistance so you can stay focused on health. When you’re ready, we’re happy to talk with you and your family about your situation. We can even find the right agency to address your financial needs. If you need help with the application, we’ll do that, too.

Psychosocial counseling services

Harrison social workers also make life easier as you face various practical matters and emotions. We’ll work with you to find solutions and learn coping methods. Some people seek our services when they first hear about their diagnosis, while others wait until their treatment begins. You have access to our social work services throughout your cancer care.
