Interviewed by Blake Hailey, March 29, 1994Item ONCOLOGY RESOURCES IN TARRANT COUNTY(2013-04-12) Bernard, ElizabethPurpose: Many strides have been made in the field of cancer prevention and cure, resulting in an increase in cancer patient longevity and survivorship in the population. This increased demand for cancer services has left many individuals in search for local support. While most research has led to improvements in the life span of cancer patients, there has been little exploration of the quality and availability of local support measures for the expansive number of cancer survivors. The purpose of this investigation is to expose some of the options available in the North Texas community for families and patients in need of cancer resources. Methods: The Blue Book Directory of Community Resources lists organizations and institutes detailing cancer care management and financial backing for the Tarrant County and Fort Worth populace. Results: The M.D. Anderson Center offers diagnosis, treatment, and management for patients that are low-income or uninsured. The American Cancer Society of North Texas provides cancer patients, families, and the public with support groups, rehabilitation clinics, and prevention education services. Breast Health Education supplies mammograms and breast health instruction to qualified members. The Moncrief Cancer institute offers cancer prevention methods and social health opportunities. Lastly, Cancer Care Services promotes emotional and financial support for patients and relatives. Conclusions: These organizations offer support, management, education, and treatment for cancer patients and their loved ones. There are obstacles with eligibility and access to each individual resource due to different qualifications including prognosis, age, and financial status. Improvements could be made to increase awareness about these organizations through advertisements and social media.Item Richards, David M., D.O.
