Patient + Family Resources

A diagnosis of cancer affects the entire family. That's why the Colorectal Cancer Program at Tufts Medical Center offers an array of outstanding patient and family support services that provide comfort to families.

Help Along the Way

We provide our patients and their families with a team of doctors, social workers, administrative specialists and visiting staff who provide support throughout our care.

Family Friendly Housing and Amenities 

Through generous gifts from the Cam Neely Foundation for Cancer Care and other donors, we are able to provide our patients and their families with nurturing, affordable housing options.

• Area Accommodations
• The Neely House

Support Services, Groups and Other Programs

We coordinate a number of programs to offer hope and support for patients and families who are dealing with a cancer.  These programs aim to decrease symptom distress, promote healing and improve the overall experience of cancer treatment for our patients.

• Adolescent and Young Adult Program for Cancer and Blood Diseases
