New Patients
Welcome to Morrison Cancer Center
We want to thank you for choosing us for your cancer needs. Receiving a cancer diagnosis can be very overwhelming, but we are here to guide you through this journey. Included behind this welcome letter is a form we’d like you to review. We encourage you to fill out this form and bring it back at a future appointment. Below are some links for supportive services and a form from the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship. We encourage you to fill out this form and bring it to a future appointment. It may help you create a list of questions to ask your oncology team and your support system. A social worker or an oncology nurse navigator will follow-up with you after your initial consultation and review this form with you, if desired. Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions and concerns.
We are all in this together, you won't fight this diagnosis alone.
