About
Cancer affects more than just the body. It weighs heavily patients’ mental health. At OCSRI, we’re here to help you fight every aspect cancer—even the non-physical symptoms. With our Hope & Healing program, patients have access to free classes, which teach valuable coping skills and inspire hope.
Your overall health requires an integrative approach, and the Hope & Healing program utilizes a variety of therapeutic methods to provide helpful information and genuine support. We offer Treatment Orientation, Treatment Nutrition class, and Art/Painting class and more.
Community has an important role to play in our wellbeing. We also offer numerous support groups, including: Caregivers Support Group by phone, Men’s General Support Group, Anna’s Belles Gynecological Cancer Support Group, and Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Blood Cancer Support Group.
For additional information, please contact Marcia Marshall, Patient Experience/Volunteer Coordinator at (918) 505-3273 or marcia.marshall@ocsri.org.
All classes require reservations. Reserve your spot by working with a scheduler or by calling (918) 505-3200.
