Cancer Patient Support Center
The mission of the Cancer Patient Support Center at Miami Cancer Institute is to enhance the quality of life and health outcomes of patients with cancer and their caregivers by addressing their physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs through high-quality clinical care, education and research across the continuum of care.



Why it is important
From discomfort to emotional stress, a cancer diagnosis and its treatment can take a tremendous toll on the physical and emotional well-being of patients and their caregivers. Taking care of the whole patient is a key component of providing world-class cancer care, and it is central to our mission. Miami Cancer Institute’s interdisciplinary team of physicians and allied health professionals work collaboratively to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care that focuses on your psychological, social and spiritual health. Our goal is to help you be independent and strong so you can continue your familiar activities.
