The treatment of cancer goes well beyond the medical remedies; it is a
whole process that includes the body and the mind to heal. Through the
generosity of the Heebe Fund at the Touro Infirmary Foundation and the
passion of the staff of the Cancer Support Services Team, each week Touro
will offer wellness and education programs to help heal.
About Touro Supportive Services and the Heebe Fund:
At Touro, supportive care is an essential part of our cancer program. We
provide the mental, emotional, spiritual, and social support you need
through your cancer journey, from diagnosis through treatment and into
survivorship. Our approach focuses on the whole person and not just the
disease. Selecting the services, you need can strengthen your mind and
body while empowering you to fight cancer and recover from your treatment.
We’re proud to offer these cancer support services to patients and
their families at no cost. Coping with your cancer diagnosis can be challenging.
Coping strategies, you may use in other walks of life might not be sufficient
while maintaining your psychological and emotional well-being along your
cancer journey. There’s no one way to cope with cancer because every
patient and case is unique. It’s important to recognize your needs,
seek out assistance, and develop your own coping strategy.
The Heebe Fund at the Touro Infirmary Foundation was created in memory
of Mimi Heebe to ensure that patients have resources available to them
during and after their treatments. From transportation assistance to lymphedema
garments, the Heebe Fund provides invaluable resources that allow Touro’s
care team to give more to our patients during and after care.
