Advocate Health Center- Cancer survivorship program

The Advocate Health Care Cancer Survivorship Program provides holistic support to cancer survivors as they transition from active treatment to life beyond cancer. With a focus on addressing the physical, emotional, and social impacts of survivorship, the program ensures continuity of care tailored to each individual's unique needs.

Core services include personalized survivorship care plans, which outline strategies for monitoring and managing potential long-term effects of treatment and reducing the risk of recurrence. The program offers screenings, health maintenance guidance, and referrals to specialists for managing conditions such as fatigue, lymphedema, or cognitive changes.

A multidisciplinary team, including oncologists, nurse navigators, dietitians, therapists, and counselors, collaborates to provide comprehensive care. Emotional well-being is supported through counseling, support groups, and resources for stress management. Survivors also benefit from education on healthy lifestyle choices, including nutrition and physical activity.

Advocate Health emphasizes empowering survivors to regain control over their health and improve their quality of life. By addressing medical, psychological, and social challenges, the Cancer Survivorship Program fosters resilience and helps survivors thrive in their post-treatment journey. With locations across Illinois, the program ensures accessible and compassionate care for those navigating life after cancer.
