Cancer Support Services
At Austin Cancer Centers & Georgetown Cancer Center, we cherish life. That’s why we became cancer specialists and why we’ve spent the past 30 years building a reputation for genuine compassion and medical excellence. Ultimately, we are each individually dedicated to doing what’s best for the people in our care. We serve as coordinators in the care of cancer, which is a dynamic, multiple-approach effort. We know that each person’s situation, needs and feelings are unique.
For these reasons, we have built — and are always expanding — a broad network of resources designed to help in the fight against cancer. We know that there are many aspects to consider, not only about your physical health but also about you as a whole person. So in our quest to help you or your loved one make a full recovery, we offer you access to a huge range of services. You can be confident that we’ll help find additional resources for any new support needs that may arise.
