In Person or Tele-Teleconference

We have expanded our case management services to include professional in-person or virtual counseling, which will be free of charge, to the patient and their caregivers. Often times, patients have financial constraints when trying to keep up with all of their follow-up care. We want to decrease barriers in their survivorship by assisting them with free services such as counseling, scheduling, and helping them understand and be compliant with their treatment. Further, we are happy to meet and/or attend their various physician and healthcare provider visits. We can also assist in scheduling transportation to and from their various appointments, if needed. We collaborate with the patient’s healthcare providers and commumity resources. Our patient population includes individuals with cancer and/or people with conditions causing disfifurement.  Some of the conditions causing disfigurement we have identified and continue to work with include: individuals suffering from acne, acne scars, burns, cancer, acoustic neuroma, stroke, facial palsy, Bell’s Palsy, sexual assault, abuse, substance abuse, other neurological conditions, accidents, trauma,  and congenital anomalies.
