Helpful information about the COVID-19 Vaccine.
A cancer diagnosis can be very stressful for patients and their families. The Joe and Virginia Schmissrauter Center for Cancer Support offers guidance and a full range of holistic care. All services are free to cancer patients and their families and no referral is needed.
The center is located on the CHI Memorial Hospital Chattanooga campus in the Plaza building, 605 Glenwood Drive, Suite 307, Chattanooga, TN. Parking and valet service is available at entrance "C". Click here, for a campus map and parking guide. For more information, call (423) 495-7778.
Out of an abundance of caution, the CDC’s recommendations for social distancing and our concern for the safety and well-being of our patients and community at large, all groups are currently meeting through Zoom. Our clinical social workers are available for phone support to our oncology patients. Call (423) 495-7778.
SPOHNC’s National Survivor Volunteer Network is a wonderful program. The Match Program is especially helpful for those who are unable to get to a group meeting or who live in an area where there may not currently be a group that meets each month. Phone support can be very helpful to those who are just beginning treatment or having issues with side effects following treatment.
For more information, contact Terri at (423) 495-8975.
Our holistic approach means we provide care which supports your mind, body and spirit. Additional services include: massage therapy, relaxation techniques, an extensive resource library, spiritual care, and more.
People often wonder what they can do to get and stay healthy once cancer treatment is complete. Lifestyle changes, like eating healthier and increasing physical activity, can lower your risk of cancer and death, according to a 2014 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
We hope you find our Survivorship Empowerment Video Series beneficial.
