Supportive Therapies Program
You Are Not Alone
If you’re facing cancer, the team at the Enloe Health Supportive Therapies program is here for you.
These caregivers can help you and your loved ones throughout your journey.
All of our services will be located on the first floor of the Enloe Health Gonzales Comprehensive Cancer Center — which opens in late September — inside the Aaron Rodgers Foundation Supportive Therapies Suite.
New to Our Center?
If you are a new patient at the Enloe Health facing cancer, know that your care team will be by your side every step of the way. Please let caregivers know if you have any questions, concerns or if you need anything at all.
And be sure to explore our New Patient Resources.
Our Services
At Enloe Health, we know that cancer affects more than your physical health. That’s where the Supportive Therapies program comes in. Our services are designed to:
- Reduce pain, stress, fatigue and anxiety during your treatment.
- Lessen treatment side effects — improving quality of life for you and your loved ones.
Many of these services are offered at no cost. For services with associated fees, financial assistance may be available to eligible patients. Explore available services like:
Wig & Beauty Boutique
Located within the Aaron Rodgers Foundation Supportive Therapies Suite, caregivers can show you to the Enloe Health Wig & Beauty Boutique.
It offers new or like-new wigs if you’re losing your hair due to treatment. One free wig and two hats are available to each patient. Donations are welcome.
Information on mastectomy fitting services and other image enhancement resources are also available.
Health & Wellness Resource Center
Caregivers can also show you to the Enloe Health Health & Wellness Resource Center.
Get connected with educational materials, supportive services, and staff who can assist with questions related to your care and treatment.
The free library offers an array of literature, including cookbooks and materials about talking to children about cancer.
Quiet Room & Family Lounge
The Quiet Room offers a peaceful space for you and your loved ones to rest, reflect or regroup during visits to the Cancer Center. Ask about our free Prayers & Inspiration booklet.
Just down the hall, the Family & Patient Lounge offers a comfortable space for rest, refreshments and connection. Enjoy a coffee or light snack, charge your device, work on a puzzle, or step onto the patio when you drop by.
Created with care partners in mind — especially those traveling from a distance — it’s a welcoming place to rest or get work done while you wait. Our vending machines are stocked daily with fresh snacks and meals for purchase.
Looking for Something Else?
Visit Our Spiritual Care Volunteers
Enloe Health Spiritual Care Volunteers are available to meet with you and your loved ones to explore what may bring comfort, strength, and peace, and to offer a listening ear or prayerful companionship.
This service is offered to patients and families of any religion, denomination and to those whose spirituality is experienced apart from a religious context.
Call 530-332-5064 to arrange a visit.
Talk to a Financial Navigator
Enloe Health offers financial navigators to help guide you through the financial and insurance aspects of care. They can:
- Review your insurance upon referral. They can also assist in referring or obtaining additional coverage.
- Explain your insurance benefits and provide an estimate of cost.
- Obtain authorizations for referral, treatment and management of your care. If we cannot receive approval from your insurance before your doctor would like you to start treatment, we can get approval from Enloe Health Patient Financial Services on a case-by-case basis.
- Review for qualification for assistance programs, assist with enrollment and help as needed once a program is in place.
- Assist in appeals and denials from your insurance.
- Communicate with other services to help manage bills from imaging, pathology and other doctors.
Financial navigators will be your advocates and can provide understanding and peace of mind.
To reach a financial navigator, call 530-332-4545 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Connect With a Social Worker
Our team of social workers can offer practical and emotional support. They can refer you to community resources, assist with applications for disability insurance, and help connect you with transportation and housing resources.
They also offer short-term support related to coping, difficult family dynamics and end-of-life counseling.
Ask for a social work referral from your physician or nurse, or call 530-332-3833 to talk to a social worker.
Attend Upcoming Events
Enloe Health also offers a wide variety of educational events and workshops. Several are not cancer-specific, but they may be helpful. View upcoming events.
Thank You, Aaron Rodgers
These services — and the entire Enloe Health Supportive Therapies program — were made possible thanks to a generous donation from the Aaron Rodgers Foundation. Thank you for your support.
