Mass General Cancer Center HOPES Program

Caring for the Whole Person

The HOPES Program can help you feel better throughout your cancer experience. Social workers, wellness therapists, chaplains, nurses, experienced patients and caregivers, and other experts work together to provide HOPES workshops and services. Most of these small, comfortable sessions are held in the Maxwell V. Blum Cancer Resource Room in the Yawkey Center, 8th floor, Suite 8C, and are drop-in so you do not need to sign up ahead of time.
