Education

Saint Raphael's maintains a lending library with an extensive collection of health and wellness related books, CDs, DVDs, videos, audiotapes, books on tapes and music. Borrowing is open to patients and loved ones. We have also developed a comprehensive resource manual to guide patients through the Saint Raphael Healthcare System and its oncology, wellness and support services, which provides answers to frequently asked questions.

We also offer ongoing educational workshops including:

  • Freedom from Smoking Classes: Participants improve coping strategies, learn how to make positive behavioral changes and how to become non-smokers for good.
  • I Can Cope: An educational course for adult patients, family members and friends. Physicians, nurses, social workers and other health professionals help participants with selected aspects of their cancer experience by increasing knowledge, positive attitudes and skills.
  • Strength for Caring: An educational program for caregivers that teaches loved ones how to care for people with cancer - and themselves during a trying time.
