Continuing Care Programs

Some forms of cancer require a life-long commitment to aggressive management. Shore Medical Center’s clinical experts help cancer patients navigate the road ahead, helping to arrange for rehabilitation and the management of lymphedema when needed.

Nutritional Support

The cancer care team includes qualified clinical dietitians who help patients develop healthy eating habits and manage the dietary requirements associated with cancer symptoms, medications and treatment programs.

Social Services and Psychological Counseling

Stress and anxiety often go hand-in-hand with a cancer diagnosis. You are not alone in your fight. Shore Medical Center offers trained experts to help manage the emotional and psychological side effects of cancer management for both patients and loved ones.

Shore Medical Center's discharge planning and social services professionals also help patients access any required after-treatment services, including home care; physical and occupational therapy; specialized equipment and training; and other community-based health care services.
