Central Baptist's oncology social worker is available to help meet the emotional and informational needs of cancer patients and their support networks.

When facing a diagnosis of cancer, everyone has their own strengths, values, knowledge and problem-solving style. The oncology social worker makes sure each patient receives services and support in areas such as:

• Eligibility for disability and financial assistance
• Bill-paying services
• Interpreting insurance reimbursement
• Advance directives (such as living wills, durable powers of attorney and healthcare surrogates)
• Questions of competency or informed consent
• Caregiver and family stress
• Alternative living arrangements
